AW: [opencms-dev] Using DB Import instead of "the hard way"

[Andreas Zahner]

Thomas,

To learn how an import file must look like simply make an export of an
existing folder of OpenCms (e.g. the "release" folder). Check the
created zip file. In the root folder of the zip file has to be a file
"manifest.xml" which contains all necessary data about the exported
files and folder.

Off to the list archives I go.  But while I'm searching...

Is the database import function described anywhere?  Specifically:

   1. should the import file be a .zip?
   2. what should its directory structure be?

When I tried it on one that started from inside htdocs (with 
subdirectories) I got a traceback:

Importing database ...
