New server

[João Santos]

Hi all,


I'm trying to move our code from Mercurial and Subversion from an old Windows Server to a new server based on Linux. After some web search I had found SCM Manager and it appear to be a great tool to manage repos and for that I'm testing it.

Now I'm stucked and I'm not able to found any solution on the web so I decided to post my doubts...

Status:

• Mercurial import worked fine.
• Subversion import it's not working as expected...

I had read that SCM-Server 1.35 (version that I had installed) perform through the WEBGUI the import of repos. And that's the way I'm doing it.

The way I'm doing it:

• I copied the SVN folder from the OLD server to the NEW one (had configured the repo folder on config etc)
  
• Through the WEBGUI perform Import Repositories

The first attempt reports an error: "Unknown error occurred.", so I start looking to "scm-manager.log" but I stuck on that because it doesn't give me too much info.

So I select only few folders and try it, to see if it really works. And work it! So appears to be some kind of folder/file that blocks the import...

I really need your opinion/help/suggestion so I can debug this and put SCM Manager working has expected.

Kind regards.

Hi,


So the first try was a simple copy/paste from one server to another (since that had worked with other folders)
Now I had tried the following sequence:

1. svnadmin dump /path/to/repository > repo_name.svn_dump
2. svnadmin create /path/to/repository
3. svnadmin load /path/to/repository < repo_name.svn_dump

But still return error on WEBGUI.
Did SCM Manager have a size max limit? This DUMP have 1,2GB...

Hi,

No, there is no limit. Could try to create the repository from the webui and then load dump to the new created repository?

Hello,


I already had found the error...
Old server have folder names with ";" and "," on it and SCM doesn't allow it due to URL restrictions (of course!).


Thanks!
