Upgrade and Migration

[arestas]

Hello all,

I have a 6.2 CentOs Box running mantisBT on version 1.2.10.
I have inherit this server and now i want to upgrade and migrate it.
Being so i would like to ear some opinions although my actual idea is:
Install new server with CentOS 6.x or 7.
Install new server with Mysql
export /import db to new server.
Copy /var/www/html/mantis folder into the new server.
Is there any other thing to do apart from this?

After this i would start with the upgrade of mantis to newer version.

Regards,

Arestas

Your plan sounds good.
You have to consider attachments if they are not stored in database but file system.

I didn't mention testlink is also installed in the server...
Does any one know if the same procedure for migration is ok?

About MAntisBT it just the attachments i was missing?
where can i see where are attachments being saved?

Check if there is an entry $g_file_upload_method in file config_inc.php.
The attachments are stored in database if there is no setting or a line like+

Code: Select all

$g_file_upload_method = DATABASE;

The attachments are stored on file systeme if there this a line

Code: Select all

$g_file_upload_method = DISK;

I think so, but never tried myself.
I recommend to ask in TestLink forum.
