importing alfresco repository

[sanghamitra]

Hi,
I am running two different alfresco servers in two different machines.
I am trying to export the alfresco repository from one machine and import it in the second machine.
I was able to export the repository properly however while trying to import the repository I am getting errors and alfresco doesn't start up.
The steps i followed are those given in the below link::
