Migrate to an Ubuntu 16.04 server

(1/7) > >>

Hi all,

I got responsible for a Galerie (1.5.8) running on an old debian system. the first task to do is to migrate from this server to an new one, running on Ubuntu LTS 16.04.

My knowledge so far:
  1) The version 1.5.8 does not run on this system because it can't connect to the mysql database.
  2) I got the version  v1.6.01 running on that Ubuntu system by a fresh install of v1.6.01, but was not able to include the database into this.

After a day of reading a lot of documents with the topics install, upgrade, update, I can't get it running.

As time is short before the old server will die, any hints are welcome.

Peter

The best bet for you to succeed is to first update the old server gallery to 1.5.44.
http://documentation.coppermine-gallery.net/en/upgrading.htm#upgrade_any
Make sure to run the update.php file at each phase of the update.

Once at a functioning version of 1.5.44, dump (export) the database from there (see help in documentation). Copy the albums folder to the new server and import the database to the new server. You'll probably have to set things correctly in include/config.inc.php. Then run update.php on the new server (CPG 1.6.01) version.

You'll need to make any necessary correction in the config/general section of the new CPG version as to the gallery URL.

Hi ron4mac,

thanks for your quick reply.

As far as I understood the version 1.5.44 need the mysql-interface, which is no longer available under php-7. Ubuntu 16.04 comes with php.7.0 as default - no way to go back on version 5 on this server for several reasons.

Deadlock?

What ron4mac is suggesting is you get the version on your old server up to date first. This will help resolve a number of issues before you migrate. There have been quite a few DB changes between the version you have and the latest version in the 1.5.x line.

Hi,

sorry my fault, I should read twice before posting.

I hope I got it.

The install.php fill an empty database, the update.php use an existing?

Regards
