HI all, i need your help. I am very new to koha. I have inherited a koha installation version 2.~ with many problems on the server, old version of ubuntu, full disk, and other issues. I have installed a new vm vith koha 3.8 on proxmox and seems to work perfect, however i would like to migrate the old database to the new instalation, is there a beginners way to do that ? Will exporting and importing the marcs work ? Are there any other config files that need to be migrated ? Is there a guide somewhere ? I have been searching the wiki and i was not able to find it. Please someone guide us in the right direction.

Hi. Welcome to Koha! My recollection from previous posts to the mailing list, and a very quick search, are that you have two options: 1. Upgrade to version 3.0, then upgrade to the latest version 3 release 2. Treat it as a migration, like you would from any other system, rather than as an upgrade. Option 2 seems to be the most recommended and cleanest approach, as far as I can tell. This means you need to get the data you need from the Koha 2 system out, and then import it into your new 3.8 installation (note that 3.10 is now the latest stable release). This is often the most difficult part. Version 2 of Koha is quite old, and people's experience with it and the migration process are probably a bit rusty now. I've listed some resources that may, or may not, be useful to your situation. The manual is your friend: http://koha-community.org/documentation/ The mailing list archive is also your friend - scroll down to the search box to search the mailing list archives: http://koha-community.org/support/koha-mailing-lists/ The search box on the koha-community.org site searches across all the sites (wiki, mailing lists, IRC, etc) and is very useful. Migration check list: http://manual.koha-community.org/3.8/en/implementation.html#imp-migration Migration Without Suffering - KohaCon 2011, D Ruth Bavousett http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Kohacon2011#Migration_Without_Suffering Migrating to Koha - KohaCon 2012, Robin Sheat http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/KohaCon12_Schedule#Migrating_to_Koha_.28... If you have the resources, you may like to consider using the services of one of the support companies - they generally have extensive expertise with Koha and the migration process. Good luck with the migration - I'm sure there will be some challenges, but thee will be worth it! Koha has come a long way since version 2.

Hi!
Is there a guide somewhere ?
I have been searching the wiki and i was not able to find it.
Please someone guide us in the right direction.
A little while ago we have paid the liblibre folks (specifically: Paul Poulain) to do this migration job for us. Worked out well. I guess other support companies could do it for you as well. Hope that helps, MJ
Thanks all for your ideas, I will play tomorrow and let you know about my success. -- View this message in context: http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/Koha-Upgrade-tp5739511p5739662.html Sent from the Koha-general mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
Hi again. I have inherited a koha installation version 2.~ with many problems on the
server, old version of ubuntu, full disk, and other issues.
If the Koha installation you are upgrading is the one here: http://library.tcmi.edu/ then you are actually on version 3.2.4 (from the view source for the HTML). In that case you can ignore my previous reply - the upgrade should be "relatively" easy. You should be able to replace the default database for the new installation with your current production version. An important thing to do is follow the installation instructions when upgrading: http://git.koha-community.org/gitweb/?p=koha.git;a=blob_plain;f=INSTALL;hb=H... "Koha 3.4.x or later no longer stores items in biblio records. If you are upgrading from an older version ou will need to do the following two steps, they can take a long time (several hours) to complete for large databases misc/maintenance/remove_items_from_biblioitems.pl --run misc/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl -b -r" As with all upgrades you should backup everything and test in a development environment...

Dear David, thank you. I was finally able to find all the info about the server and dumped the database. I had to delete all the logs to be able to free some space. Yes i saw today that i was wrong about the version. This makes my life easier. I will try to post updates as soon as I finish the new server.

It might be that your env vars are not properly set. To see if that is the case $ su koha $ cd usr/share/koha $ export KOHA_CONF=/etc/koha/sites/koha/koha-conf.xml $ export PERL5LIB=/usr/share/koha/lib/ $ ./bin/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl -a -r -v $ ./bin/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl -b -r -v -x If that works, there are several ways of making your env vars more permanent. Regards - Paul
and i get an error [snip] All dependencies seem to be installed.
