I'm trying to migrate the egroupware fudforum to a standalone fudforum. However, when I try to Make forum datadump in egroupware, I found that the "admdump.php" file doesn't exist. I've tried to download that from the egroupware web cvs directory and still couldn't find one. Could anybody help me? Thanks a lot!

Perform this migration is a bit tricky, and is best performed manually bu dumping the sql structure and copying the messages/ and files/ directories. Then import this data into a installed forum 2.6.0 and run the upgrade script.

I'm trying to do the same thing, but i have an error when i install a forum 2.6.0.

After the step 5 of 5, i receive this message:
"No source for date_formats.tmpl"

Could anybody help me ? Thanks a lot!

Edit: this problem was resolved by cleaning my Forum Data Root.

Import this data ? you mean with the function in the Admin Control Panel > Forum Data Management > Import forum data ?

It don't seem to work and if i overwrite the directories and the sql data, i have SQL error.

Could anybody give me more details on this tricky migration ?

Ok but the update script ask me the "login & password of the administration account". When i try to enter the lofin-password of my egroupare's fudforum admin account, it doesn't work.

Can I put a new admin account directly in the sql to be able to do this update ?

Thanks !

Erhm...

If you are upgrading FUDforum, the upgrade tool is ONLY and ONLY going to work with a standalone FUDforum. So if you want to move from egroupware's fudforum to fudforum (standalone) you first need to import the data into the forum.

When i try to use the import data function with my egroupware sql dump in a fresh installed Fudforum 2.6.0, i receive this error

(c:\program files\easyphp1-7\FUDforum\include\theme\default\db.inc:114
c:\program files\easyphp1-7\www\fudforum\adm\admimport.php:179
) 1146: La table 'fudforum.phpgw_fud_ses' n'existe pas

After that my fudforum db is empty.

I don't really know what to do.

Thanks

Here is what you need to do get get your current data into standalone forum:

1) Install FUDforum 2.6.0
2) Manually (via mysqldump) backup and import forum's data tables.
3) Copy over files/ and messages/ directory.
4) Now run the upgrade script on the forum.

Ok, i have the same Problem.

>1) Install FUDforum 2.6.0
ok - it´s on a new server with a new database and the forum works.
>2) Manually (via mysqldump) backup and import forum's data tables.
Dumped all phpgw_fud_* tables with mysqldump and imported them into a new database with mysql...
>3) Copy over files/ and messages/ directory.
ok
>4) Now run the upgrade script on the forum.
doesn´t work, because I can´t login with my old Admin account

If I want to login to the new forum without upgrading it, i get <Fatal error: SQL Error has occurred, please contact the administrator of the forum and have them review the forum's SQL query log in /homepages/26/d32713671/htdocs/sorf.wish.de/index.php on line 49>

So what to do?

Thx, Tobi

Check what was the error, it can be found inside the sql_errors file found inside the errors/ directory. Keep in mind that the error message is base64 encoded, so you will need to decode it 1st using PHP's base64_decode() function.

You need to add this column, the forum's SQL structure is found inside sql/ dir.

One thing you can try doing, which will probably work is running an upgrade script. It through the course of it's operation automatically adds any missing column names.

I tried to run the upgrade scipt on the new fudforum, but i can´t login with the old admin account from the egwfud.
How can I add an new admin account manually into the sql database?

Thx for helping!

It's simpler to make an existing user an admin, to do this simply set the users_opt for that user to
users_opt = users_opt | 1048576

Ok, the new forum works now. Only one problem left: The text in the messages is completely mixed up and the last posts are empty...
I transfered the old messages file to the new fud, but it seems that the text was assigned to the wrong postings. Sometimes the content of originally one posting is now spread over 2 or 3...

Any idea?

I compared the old and new message file and the msg table. There are no differences. What else can it be?

Looks like the offset values indicating where the bodies of the message got corrupted.

Can you compare the foff,length values of the message table inside eGW and new FUDforum and see how do they differ?

Hi Ilia

I got a break, but now i´m once again trying to go on the migration egw->fud.
I compared the offset values foff and length in the egw forum and the new fudforum, but there are no differences. the message file didn´t get corrupted either.
It seems that every message is a little bit too long and takes over some content from the next posting.

any idea?

thx, TObi

Hi

Oh finally I got it running, but there is still one problem left. The reaction of the forum is very slow. Not the Administration page, or the private Messages. Only the Categories, Threads and Postings are slow.

Did you run consistency checker? What version of the forum are you running and on what database backend?

I ran the Consistency checker and made every possible check available.

I updated fud from 2.6.0 to 2.7.3, Running on MySQL 4.0.23 and Apache/1.3.27.

Hey!

I think the speed problem was the fault of my provider - today everything is normal.

Thank you for helping and if someone needs assistance in extracting fud from egw -> ask me... Smile
