[rt-users] Migrate and upgrade RT

[Kevin Bailey]

Hi,

Currently we have RT running at version

ii  request-tracker3.6              3.6.1-4+etch1                   
Extensible trouble-ticket tracking system

on a Debian etch server.

We have a nice new Debian server set up running Debian lenny.  And we've 
installed RT on that server from the repository - currently version

ii  request-tracker3.6                3.6.7-5+lenny4

Any pointers on how we move the data from the old server to the new one.

I was told that it was just a question of copying the database over to 
the new server and connecting to it using the conf file.  Then the 
database would automatically get updated when it was first accessed - 
but we've run into a problem whereby the web server fails to start

[Thu Dec 09 16:53:06 2010] [error] Insecure dependency in chdir while 
running with -T switch at /usr/share/perl/5.10/File/Path.pm line 
222.\nCompilation failed in require at (eval 2) line 1.\n
[Thu Dec 09 16:53:06 2010] [error] Can't load Perl file: 
/usr/share/request-tracker3.6/libexec/webmux.pl for server 
cyclone2.freewayprojects.com:80, exiting..

I will start looking through the docs etc but thought I'd ask for some 
pointers first.

Thanks,
