# User passwords are all set to @trac@

# Ticket ids are preserved if there's no ticket in your Redmine database yet

# Custom fields are all created as text custom fields in Redmine

You need the sqlite-ruby gem (gem install sqlite-ruby) to access the Trac database.
25
26
Before starting, you need a fresh Redmine database, *with default data loaded (required)*. See [[RedmineInstall|Redmine installation]].

The script was tested with a 0.10 Trac sqlite database and should work with 0.11 databases.
29 1 Jean-Philippe Lang

1. Run the following command, where test is your Redmine target environment:
31
32
  rake redmine:migrate_from_trac RAILS_ENV="test"
33 2 Jean-Philippe Lang
34 1 Jean-Philippe Lang
2. The script asks you for your Trac settings:
35
36
<pre>
37
Trac directory []: /var/trac/myproject
38 7 Jean-Philippe Lang
Trac database adapter (sqlite, sqlite3, mysql, postgresql) [sqlite]:
39 1 Jean-Philippe Lang
Database encoding [UTF-8]:
40
Target project identifier []: myproject
41
</pre>
42
43 7 Jean-Philippe Lang
Trac directory is the root directory of your Trac environment. Redmine will look in this directory for @db/trac.db@ (if you choose sqlite/sqlite3 database) and the @attachments@ directory.
44
When using a mysql or postgresql Trac database, the script will ask you for the connection parameters (host, database name, username and password).
45 1 Jean-Philippe Lang
Target project identifier is the identifier of the Redmine project in which the data will be loaded (the project is created if not found).

Now, you should see a project called Myproject in Redmine with your Trac data loaded in this project.

h2. Mantis

The Mantis importer migrates:
71
72
    * Users
73
    * Projects
74
    * Project versions, categories and news
75
    * Project memberships
76

    * Bug notes, files, relations and monitors
78
    * Custom fields
79
80

81
82 8 Jean-Philippe Lang
Bug files migration only works if they're stored in your Mantis database (this is the default Mantis behaviour).
83 1 Jean-Philippe Lang
84
The script was tested with different 1.0.x Mantis databases and should work with any other recent versions.

Before starting, you need a fresh Redmine database, *with default data loaded (required)*. See [[RedmineInstall|Redmine installation]].
