[opencms-dev] Error importing site from zip-file

[Yves Glodt]

I think I need to explain better what is happening here... :-)


I have a production site, inside my first opencms. The site should be mostly 
rebuild, but based on the old content.

So I copied the mysql db of the first opencms to a second server and run an 
opencms instance with my site as development-environment there. This version 
has now been modified extensively, and I want to export/import it back to a new 
site inside the production server mentioned earlier.

Now, the file /index.html, which had been copied (by database backup/restore) 
from the prod server to the temporary server, exists on both with the same ID, 
and when I want to import it back into the prod server, I get a lot of 
exceptions in the style of:

"Can not created /sites/new/index.html since /site/old/index.html exists with 
the same ID"

That's why I asked if I can not tell the import tool to recreate the UUIDs 
while importing... ?

Best regards,
Yves

p.s.
I have already learned my lesson and will only use the export/import tool next 
time to move sites between servers... :-)
