Migrating Alfresco from windows to linux

[carlosdms]

Hello all,

I´m trying to move my alfresco installation from a windows 2008 to ubuntu linux. My alfresco version is 3.4.b and what I did is to backup my alf_data dir in windows and then restore it to the  same linux folder, and then mysqldump the database in windows and restore it in my linux MySQL server. It didn´t work. I´m not upgrading, "just" moving from a windows server to linux.  Is this a correct approach? Im setting same permissions, usernames and password in the database.

Database related error logs:

So, as I have not a clear idea because I didnt find many information about this topic, I have tried also a different way:  Using export and import using the web interface, but I get an error message:

    * A system error happened during the operation: A namespace prefix is not registered for uri http://www.alfresco.org/model/webdav/1.0 ‍

Any help or tip or recommendation would be much appreciated. I´m very new to alfresco and im finding difficult to mess with this things from the very beginning.

Basically following the procedure in http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Export_and_Import helped to make the hole thing to work.

So just tar dir.root and backup database in windows with mysqldump. Then untar dir.root in linux, create database, apply permissions and restore. After that for me it was also neccesary to rebuild indexes adding this line to alfresco.global-properties:

index.recovery.mode = FULL‍

restart alfresco daemon and test your luck 😉

error code 404 means web script in share can't visit repository data webscript (it's url is  alfresco/service/imap/servstatus)

you can browse http://localhost:8080/alfresco/service/index   and search IMAP to test if imap-enabled web script exists
if it dosen't exsit, please check alfreso application ,make sure you have file
alfresco\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco\templates\webscripts\org\alfresco\repository\imap\imap-enabled.get.desc.xml
if file imap-enabled.get.desc.xml exists please do as below
Type http://localhost:8080/alfresco/service/index in the web browser.
Click Refresh Web Scripts.

if file imap-enabled.get.desc.xml dose not exist ,make sure you install alfresco correctly
