Hey, I have a problem. We have an old SCM server in version 1.48 in a separate network. Now we have to shut down the network and cannot migrate the server. That’s why we have set up a new SCM server in version 3.11. Now the question is how we can transfer the data from the old SCM server to the n…

Hi Marcel! May I say, you’re a bit late to the party after nearly 10 years, but welcome nonetheless :slight_smile: Glad to hear, that your server made it for so long :+1: You should be able to migrate your old data, I’d recommend the following steps: Backup-up your data Start SCM-Manager 1.60 o…

Hey René, Yes, since the server was running on an offline network, it was not considered necessary to perform updates. I am currently attempting to install version 1.60 on Ubuntu 24.04 and then copy the data to the new server. The following error occurs: root@srv-svn01:~# sudo apt install scm-s…

Hi, I’m afraid you are a few weeks too late, we shut down some of the 1.x infrastructure about two months or so ago. But since your only goal is to start a server once with 1.60, you can easily use the simple generic Unix package . Once downloaded, extract it in a path of your choice (may be /tmp)…

Hey rené, Thanks for the info. Can you tell me where the home directory is located by default in version 1.48 so that I can copy it to the new server? Best regards, Marcel

Oh, that’s a very good question, and it depends on your installation. You used the debian package, right? If I’m not mistaken, you could take a look at /var/lib/scm. If you can find for example config and repositories there, that’s probably it.

Hi, that sounds like somehow the plugin wizzard somehow interfered with the update. You can try and create a simple file named pluginSets.xml in the config directory of the scm-home with the following content: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?> <pluginSetsConfig/> Maybe we hav…

hey René That solved the problem, but now the next problem arises: the migration of the repositories is not there. [grafik] There should actually be 200 repositories here now.

Hey, I just stumbled across a message from the SCM server that shows an error in the import. [grafik]

Oh, okay, Let’s take one step back. Did you see the migration page shown in [these docs]( https://scm-manager.org/docs/3.11.x/en/migrate-scm-manager-from-v1/ ? I just went throught the migration process. It’s important, to use the same path for the home directory. On my first try, I made the mistake…

Hey René,
I was able to complete the migration and create the scmadmin, but when I first set it up and selected the plugins, I always got an error message:
