Migration to Virtual Appliance

Post by EAVH »

Hello.

I was wondering if anyone has instructions or tips on how to migrate Mantis in the following situation:

- I have Mantis version 1.2.5 running with Xampp 1.7.3 on Windows XP.

I wish to migrate to version 1.2.8 with Mantis Virtual Appliance "BitNami Mantis Stack 1.2.8-0 (Ubuntu 10.10)"

I would appreciate any help!

Thanks!

Export your database on XAMPP.
Import your database to Bitnami.
If your attachments are stored on disk and not in database you have to copy the attachments to your new system and to adjust the file paths.

After migrating to a VM seem to function properly.

But after trying to issue a Summary advanced, I could see that not output

correctly. I can not see the graphics. I can not see 5 reports the "Summary"

I modified my configuration file as follows:

$ g_use_jpgraph = ON;
$ g_jpgraph_path = '/ var / www / toto.net / jpgraph / src /';

but still not working.

Anybody could help me to solve this problem?

Again, appreciate any help.

Thanks!

These options are obsolete in version 1.2 (run admin/check.php to verify your installation)
Use the the settings dialog of the plugin for configuration.
Unfortunately there is a known bug when trying to set the path http://www.mantisbt.org/bugs/view.php?id=12006
If you want to use jpgraph you have to copy the contents of the src directory of jpgraph to <yourMantisHome>/library/jpgraph
