Run Migration Script

Wil did this on a non-RHEL box

You need at least python 2.4 to run this Run python -V to check your version. Lots of additional info and examples for the migration script is available

• Go to /services/bin/
• Create migration.conf and fill in values. For example, mine looks like:

oldDatabaseName=c_amov2
oldPassword=********
oldServerName=localhost
oldUserName=web
newDatabaseName=c_remora
newPassword=********
newServerName=localhost
newUserName=web
fileCachePath=files

• The fileCachePath is a relative path that will hold a copy of all the versions of all the addons - you'll need to create this directory. In my example, I created a directory named "files" in /services/bin/.
• (If you're thinking of moving the migration.py script out of /services/bin, that's fine, but take blank.png with it - they need to be in the same dir when the script runs)
• Run ./migration.py -MAv --recalculateHash >> migrate.out 2>&1 - I'm redirecting the output here because there is a lot and we should look through it for errors.
• When this is finished, check migrate.out to make sure it finished happily
• Move the fileCachePath directory to /site/app/webroot/ VERIFY THIS

Run SQL Patches

• Run SQL to modify migrated data for production
