Dear Vtiger-Team,
thanks for your hard long work on Vtiger 5.0.3. I really appreciate your work and would be happy if you continue on this great product.

On my work, I got the job, to migrate a 4.2.4 Vtiger-Database-Dump on a new Vtiger 5.0.3-System. For this task I created a new virtual machine with Debian 4.0 Etch and installed the Vtiger-LAMP-Package (deb) on the system. After that I configured vtiger with the necessary settings and installed the demo-database which came with the installation.
Next I inserted the necessary SQL-Lines both at the start and at the end of the dump-file and copied it to the host-system (vtiger.sql) with the new vtiger-installation. I changed the config.inc.php-file in the htdocs-directory and increased the maximum upload file size, as your team mentioned in the other threads.
Now I installed a X-System with a fvwm-window-manager together with firefox and opened vtiger 5.0.3 via the localhost-url, logged in with my admin-account and moved to the admin-settings-page. I clicked then on the Migration-Wizard, chose the second option to migrate from a dump-file from an older vtiger-system, selected the vtiger.sql dump-file and inserted the essential mysql-path in the next field. Now I clicked on the Migrate-Button. 3 seconds after that vtiger kicked me back to the startpage and nothing happened after that. The same old demo-database were shown, even after trying to migrate several times. I even tried to migrate from a remote machine with a locally stored sql-dump-file, but the same result here.
Did I something wrong or forgot something crucial?

I would be very thankful if you could help me with my problem.
Thanks in advance and greetings from the warm Germany ;)

Hi,

We had the same problem, but it feels that somebody found a way to make it work (I didn't try yet). Have a look there http://forums.vtiger.com/viewtopic.php?t=14762

I already searched for a php.ini, but i found nothing on my Debian-System. Where can i find it?
Thanks

Did you try the shell command "find / -name php.ini" ?

[c_nitschmann]

Yes i already did, but the find command didn't return anything usable.

Try to run phpinfo, create a file "phpinfo.php" in the web server root with content:
Quote: <?php

phpinfo();

?>
and run it with "http://localhost/phpinfo.php

It should show a line like:
Configuration File (php.ini) Path /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini
or something else.

[plaugraud]

Instead of changing the php.ini (which affects all web apps), you can add a file ".htaccess" in the vtiger-root with the appropriate php parameters and values.

An example of an other web application on my box:
Quote: #
# Set
#
# AllowOverride FileInfo
#
# to enable parsing off this file
#
php_value memory_limit 32M
php_value max_execution_time 60
php_flag register_globals Off
php_flag magic_quotes_gpc Off
php_flag magic_quotes_runtime Off
# settings for the file upload, you might increase them further
php_value upload_max_filesize 16M
# session handling: now the check for expired sessions is done on every 10th session creation
php_flag session.use_trans_sid Off
php_value session.gc_probability 1
php_value session.gc_divisor 10
# multibyte extension: needed for utf-8
php_value mbstring.func_overload 7
#switching error-display off, to cope with the buggy mbstring extension of php5.2
php_flag display_errors Off

#php_value session.cookie_lifetime 0
# wird im "Admin - Konfiguration der Anwendung" gesetzt

Greetings,
Rudolf

PS: if you change the php.ini, don't forget to restart apache.

[c_nitschmann]

Thanks for your quick reply. i created a new .htaccess-file with the necessary changes, edited the httpd.conf (AllowOverride FileInfo) and restarted Apache.
After that, my sql-dump were accepted but i get the same migration errors like in this Thread.
Is there any solution for this problem?
Thanks in advance and greetings from Germany

Fatal error: Call to a member function query() on a non-object in ...\modules\Migration\MigrationStep1.php on line 139

I still get that error message, which stops me from migrating my old 4.2.4-database to the newer version of vtiger. I hope if somebody can help me with this really annoying message.
