[rt-users] 2.0->3.0 migration help, script reports error

[Nicolae P. Costescu]

Hello

I'm trying to move my rt2.0.9 installation to rt3.0.0. It appears the way 
to do it is use the utility, and get a dump file from your 2.0 system, then 
copy the dump file to the 3.0 system, and then from the dump to your 3.0 
database.

I tried to run the upgrade utility to create a dump file on my old PC but 
there were some module compatibility issues...

>[postgres at admin upgrade]$ ./rt-2.0-to-dumpfile

I also tried moving the rt2 system over (by dumping the db, which restores 
fine, and tarring the rt2 directory) to the same PC as the rt3 system, and 
almost had it but apache won't start because of this undeclared global in 
webmux.pl (which doesn't cause a problem on the old system).

Anyone have a good roadmap of how to migrate from 2.0.9 to 3.0.0?

Thanks
Nick
