Migrating Mantis BT from Windows PC to Linux Server

Post by MBT_novaa »

Hello Mantis,

I am using MantisBT 1.2.19 with XAMPP installed on a Windows PC.
Recently, my department has decided to migrate MantisBT to our Linux Server.
It's working great already except for some "page loading" issue sometimes and they're seeing this action as the solution.

Is there any risk involved to this? If yes, please give me some check points.
Also, is it possible to keep all our existing data?

I have confidence in Mantis but our tech support doesn't like to read forums so I need to take necessary notes.

Thanks in advance for all your inputs!

Thanks atrol!

All users, issues and their attachments worked fine except for one user.
I couldn't login using the existing password.
When its reset via administrator or "Lost your password?" functionality in login page, the below error message consistently displays:
"SYSTEM WARNING: 'require_once(/htdocs/mantis/lang/strings_English.txt): failed to open stream: No such file or directory' in '/htdocs/mantis/core/lang_api.php' line 58"

Atrol, this has been resolved! :D
My mistake, I didn't follow rules... :(
I have mistakenly modified language array in config_inc into string value 'English' instead of the correct value 'english'.
