[Assetstore] Migration Problem (6.3 -> 7.6)

[Michel Montenegro]

We migrated the database from 6.3 to 7.6 successfully, we opened the front-end and it's ok, however the files (PDFs, Videos, etc) that were saved do not load.

We put the path of the Assetstore folder (6.3) in dspace.cfg and local.cfg and even then it didn't find it.
Do we need to report this path elsewhere? or do we need to do a few more things to get 7.6 to recognize assetstore files?

Hi Michel,

It would help to understand the errors you are seeing.  There have been no changes to the Assetstore folder/structure in DSpace 7...so the exact same assetstore folder that you used in DSpace 6 should work perfectly fine in DSpace 7.  See our migration guide which notes to just copy it over to DSpace 7: https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSDOC7x/Migrating+DSpace+to+a+new+server

My suspicion is that either something didn't copy over properly when you did your migration, or you may have a configuration issue somewhere.  In any case, you may want to review the migration guide above to ensure you performed those steps.  You also may want to review our troubleshooting guide to look for more detailed error messages (as those can provide us with clues as to what has gone wrong): https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSPACE/Troubleshoot+an+error#Troubleshootanerror-DSpace7.x(orabove) 

Overall though, there is no special/new configuration needed for your assetstore folder.  It is unchanged in DSpace 7.
