Migrating from RedMine 0.9.2.devel to 2.5.2.stable

Added by Kevin Cook over 9 years ago

Currently running RedMine 0.9.2.devel on a linux box. I need to migrate the data from the linux box to my new install of Bitnami Redmine 2.5.2.stable on a windows server 2012 box.

Here is what I have done so far#

  1. I successfully backed up the old database on the linux box: /usr/bin/mysqldump -u redmine -ppassword redmine > redmine_backup.sql
  2. I downloaded and installed Bitnami Redmine 2.5.2.stable on my windows server 2012 box.
  3. In the new installation I started a mysql session: mysql -uroot -p
  4. drop database binami_redmine;
  5. create database binami_redmine;
  6. Grant all privileges on bitnami_redmin.* to 'userId'@'localhost' identified by 'password'; I believe this one failed, at least the return message was "0 rows affected".
  7. flush privileges;
  8. exit;
  9. I then imported the old data into the new installation: mysql -uroot -pPassword bitnam_redmine < redmine_backup.sql
  10. set RAILS_ENV=production
  11. rake db:migrate which produced the following errors:

rake aborted!
You have already activated rake 10.1.0, but your Gemfile requires rake 10.1.1. Prepending `bundle exec` to your command may solve this. C:/Bitnami/redmine-2.5.2-1/apps/redmine/htdocs/config/boot.rb:8:in `<top (required)>' C:/Bitnami/redmine-2.5.2-1/apps/redmine/htdocs/config/application.rb:1:in `<top(required)>' C:/Bitnami/redmine-2.5.2-1/apps/redmine/htdocs/Rakefile:5:in `<top (required)>'(See full trace by running task with --trace)

I am quite lost now. I have read several instructions all of which seem to take a different path. Can anyone provide me with a paht forward? Please.

Hi Kevin,
There is a typo in your message, I don't know if you did the typo writing the command too:

- Grant all privileges on bitnami_redmin.* to 'userId'@'localhost' identified by 'password';
+ Grant all privileges on bitnami_redmine.* to 'userId'@'localhost' identified by 'password';

For the migration, use a bundle exec:
set RAILS_ENV=production
bundle exec rake db:migrate

Cheers,

I fat fingered it. However I still do not think it worked:

Grant all privileges on bitnami_redmin.* to 'userId'@'localhost' identified by 'password';
returned: Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

I believe the Rake is working correctly now.

My old version of RedMine has several plugins. So I just copied over all of the folders that exists on the old server under the directory /usr/edms/ttrack/redmine/vendor to the new server under the directory c:\Bitnami\redmine-2.5.2-1\apps\redmine\htdocs\plugins.

However, when I do this Redmine stops working. I remove the files and Redmine starts working again.

Any ideas?

There is almost no chance that a plugin for 0.9.2 could be compatible with 2.5.2.
Search for updated versions or equivalent plugins.

This may be a dump question. If I go install the new versions of the plugins will I loose any data?

Most plugins will upgrade smoothly. Whatever you choose to do, do a backup first, just to be safe :)
