How do I migrate my data from DM-5.5 to DM-5.8?

[ben-Nabiy_Derus]

I need to migrate my information from a Tomcat install of DM-5.5 to either a tomcat or Debian repo install of 5.8 (I am not sure which would be better to use on my Wheezy system).

Is there something which documents which files get put where, depending on the install method?

To clarify: I am wanting to move my install to a different machine, running a different version of Nuxeo. I am moving from a DM5.5 tomcat install on debian squeeze, to a 5.8 install through debian repository on debian wheezy 7.2.

Is there any way I can take the files in the database, and then put them on the other machine, and have all my files? (If I did not want to worry about customizations I made or users added etc )

Have you looked at the How to Upgrade Nuxeo page? Follow the instructions for 5.5 to 5.6 and then 5.6 to 5.8. Specifics depend on how you originally installed Nuxeo but should be covered in the upgrade documentation.

I guess I should clarify, my question is more along the lines of shifting my install from a tomcat install of DM-5.5 to a .deb install of 5.8 (by doing 5.6 then to 5.8). Does the tomcat install place things in a different place than the debian installer? If I do not have too many customizations in place, would it be enough to install a new install of 5.8 via .deb and then import my data into it?

The main differences between the plain zip and the debian package are

Thank you for that clarification. So if I am to understand correctly, the two could actually reside side by side on the same machine, as long as they each had their own database cluster, and data store, right?

There are a few more things that could conflict, like the listening address+port, but basically yes, you could run both the zip distribution and the deb package on the same machine as long as those conflicts are resolved.

Thank you so much! I cannot remember if I explicitly installed postgresql by number or meta-package. I will have to look into it.

Is it possible to still download the 5.6-tomcat install? If I understand correctly, I need it to migrate from 5.5 to 5.8?
