[opencms-dev] Problems when migrating OpenCMS installation fr om NT to Linux

["Kühl, Markus"]

Hi,

>The linux system works if we tell OpenCMS to drop the database during the
>installation process, we just can't get it to work with an already existing
>database created by the NT installation.
>Has anyone an idea why this is that way and how should we solve this issue
>(apart from dumping the database and recreating it)?

we had the same problem when moving from our evaluation
platform on Win2k to Linux. The only way that works 
for us was to first export all data on Win2k/NT's 
Opencms (excluding /system !!!!). Then, setup a new CMS
on your Linux box, import the previous exported .zip files
in the new Opencms on your Linux box. This takes about
5 minutes and works very fine.

Regards,

Markus
