Switch Redmine version, Server and Database

Added by YoZ Art over 10 years ago

Hello,

I have a "hard task" to perform and would like to do it correctly. Today, I have Redmine 2.2.3 running on server A using MySQL database. What I have to do is moving to a new Server B using SQL server. At the meantime, I would like to update my redmine version to the latest one 2.5.1 (at this current time).

Can you give some advise to perform this the most efficiently please ?

I will try to do a kind of tutorial that i will include then here.

Current Configuration Future configuration
Windows Server 2003 Windows server 2008
Mysql 5.xx SQL Server 2008
Collabnet Subversion 1.3.1 Collabnet Subversion 4.0.7
Redmine 2.2.3 Redmine 2.5.1

Hi Yoann,
Is it a Bitnami installation?
To change your DB from MySQL to SQL Server, you could dump your db to YAML.
If you had a Linux VM running on top of your OS, you would not have migration problems.
Cheers,

Unfortunately no. It isn't.

Then can i only dump the db and transfer it to SQL server?
Install redmine as i would have done for a new installé?

Thanks

I checked on Bitnami solution. it seems great. is it possible to install bitnami on my new server and then transfer only data to this new instalation?
