AW: [opencms-dev] FYI: importing files is easy with this script

[Jeroen Habets]

Hi Simon,

If you've exported your files using OpenCMS the resulting archive already
contains a manifest.xml. You would only need to alter this if you want:

- other user/group/access assigned to the imported files
- other destination(s) for the imported files.

Considering you're exception: Does you're zip archive contain a (valid)
manifest.xml?

Jeroen
B.T.W. I'm using OpenCMS 41.x.x (41.1.46 for now) are you perhaps migrating from
40.xx to 41.x.x ?
