Problem with import of xml

[Mueller Peter]

Hello,

I have exported a list of bugs from Bugzilla 3.6 (one machine).

And tried to import this list on a newly installed Bugzilla 4.2 (other machine).

I get the following error:

syntax error at line 1, column 0, byte 0 at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.14.2/mach/XML/Parser.pm line 187
at importxml.pl line 1272

The XML file looks the following:

<attachid>8</attachid>
<date>2012-12-07 18:35:00 +0100</date>
<delta_ts>2012-12-07 18:35:20 +0100</delta_ts>

Line 1272 is the middle one.

What can I do to finish the import?
Do I have to configure the products etc. like on the old machine???

Best regards,
Peter

This surely means no data to parse for the parser. How did you call
importxml.pl? Make sure the script can read the file and that it
actually contains content. I couldn't think any other reason for an
error in byte 0 and a quick test with one of my test bugs so succeeded
successfully.

1272 is the line where the error occurred in importxml.pl, not in the
XML file, column 0 and byte 0 is the error in the XML file.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen,

Hello,

thank you very much for your comment.

I run the import as root within the bugzilla folder and copied also the bug.xml file into
this folder. So there should not be an access problem.

root@svn:/usr/local/www/bugzilla # perl -wT importxml.pl bugs.xml
Unsuccessful stat on filename containing newline at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.14.2/XML/Twig.pm line 742, <> chunk 1.

syntax error at line 1, column 0, byte 0 at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.14.2/mach/XML/Parser.pm line 187
at importxml.pl line 1272

root@svn:/usr/local/www/bugzilla #

Is there anything I have to do on the new bugzilla installation before I can import?
Or is it a problem that I run it as root?

Regards,
Peter

Guten Tag Mueller Peter,

I did ./importxml.pl bugs.xml, maybe there's a difference in providing
the arguments to importxml.pl between using perl xy.pl and ./xy.pl.
