Redmine migration to Windows server 2008

Added by Blue Jackal about 11 years ago

Hello,

Can somebody explain me how to migrate redmine data from an Ubuntu server to Windows server 2008 and get it working.

Currently the redmine is working on Ununtu server(old server) and I need to migrate the working redmine instance to Windows server 2008 environment(new server).

regards,
bluejackal

Hi Blue,

How about P2V? It's always easier to work with Redmine in Linux.
Otherwise, you "just" need to
  1. Backup/restore the database
  2. Copy your files (by default ./files/)
  3. Copy the plugins (./plugins/ in 2.x)
  4. Keep your ./config/configuration.yml
  5. Make a new ./config/database.yml

Cheers,

Hello Martin,

What i have done so far is,

Backed up the redmine database instance from ubuntu server and restored it in Windows server.
Migrated website data from ubuntu server and copied it to windows servers www.
copied the configuration.yml and database.yml from Ubuntu server.

But I cannot make it work in windows server.

Can you please help me out because I am using the redmine application for first time.

And do I have to use the rake command and does using it cause any problem to windows server's existing database as there are live websites hosted on it.

Hello Blue,

Do you have a log entry?
I suggest you didn't install the dependencies (bundle install).
It can affect the dependencies of other Rails applications installed on the server if you didn't separate your environments.
Maybe you should reconsider P2V?
