I'm trying to migrate from MySQL to PostgresSQL in order to upgrade OpenProject to v.10.

OpenProject v.8.3.2 is running on Ubuntu 18.04.

I follow all the steps explained here:
https://www.openproject.org/operations/migration-guides/migrating-packaged-openproject-database-postgresql/

Everything's fine until I try to run the migration tool, where it says that './docker/mysql-to-postgres/bin/migrate-mysql-to-postgres' is not found.

Should I first update to V9.x to get that file?

any help appreciated

Johan

Well, I'm not an expert, but I think you should upgrade to v.9 before migrating to PostgresSQL, as explained in this page:
https://www.openproject.org/deprecating-mysql-support/

BTW, I'm having a different error while running the migration tool:

Hope you can migrate your DB without errors.

Best.

Hi Johan,

yes the migration script was added in 9.0.. You can safely upgrade your package to 10.0 before running the migration script. Your database will be unchanged until you run openproject configure (which in 10.0., would fail if you still use MySQL).

So either works:

1. Upgrade to 9.0.3
2. Convert the database
3. Upgrade to 10.0

or

1. Upgrade to 10.0
2. Run the postgres migration
3. Run openproject configure after the migration

Best,

Oliver

Hi Oliver,

I used the second scenario (upgrade directly to V10) and I can tell: it worked like a charm!
So I'm excited to discover all the new features myself now.

Thanks  a lot
Johan
