How to update 'repositories' table when changing location of repository?

Added by Sergiy Tkachuk over 13 years ago

Hello,

I have moved my repository to another server and url has been changed.
And I would like to update table 'repositories'.
It is clear what to do with 'url' column, but I can can't not realize how to update 'root_url'.

How to update 'root_url'?

(I tried to add repositories via repository Setting/Repositories on two different configuration it seems that I have not understood how many folder levels should be stripped out from 'repositories'.'root_url' in db. missed something?)

If there are other ways to update repositories table, it would be interesting for me to know.

I don't know Ruby language and it is not easy for me to trace source code to realize meaning of root_url.
Redmine version is 1.1.1.

Thanks in advance,
Sergiy

There is no way to update 'url' and 'root_url' on Redmine forms.
Git and Mercurial revision hash value is unique, but Subversion and CVS revision number is not unique.
It is only way to modify database directly.

Yes, I know that there is no redmine forms.
But I am speaking about DB update directly.

I have SVN repository.

(And if I were having Git repository there is no issues - I don't clone repositories, I move files physically.
Can not say about Mercurial, because I am not familiar with it).

SQL

update repositories set root_url = 'root_url', url = 'url' where id = id1

Sorry, but I completely don't understand your sql query.

What is id1?

are 'root_url' 'url' are string constants? not urls related to repository? what do you mean?

You can view and edit Redmine database with SQL, mysqladmin(MySQL), etc.

what is id1? there is no column id1 in repository table.

id1 is example.

Hey Guys,

I know that this seems as a dull task and infact is :)

So creating an update sql statement is not an easy task and you could easily mess something up.

My 2 cents here:
1.Dump the table mysqldump -p --host=[yourserversip] -u [redmineuser] [nameofthedatabase] repositories > repositories_orig.sql
2.Copy the repositories_orig.sql to repository_new.sql then open it up with vi and replace your old address with the new one.
Example: https://10.10.10.2/svn/myproject should be changed to https://192.168.0.2/svn/myproject in vim write :%s/10.10.10.2/192.168.0.2/g
3.mysql -p --host=[yourserversip] -u [redmineuser] [nameofthedatabase] < repositories_new.sq

I hope this is going to be helpful to smb who ends up in this thread.

Cheers
