[Koha] Migration from 2.2.5 to 3.4

[Barry Cannon]

Hi Peter,

           I have just performed something similar. The information on the
wiki is useful but there are lots of omissions in the document. For
instance, there is no mention of how (or where) to install the 3.0 file
structure. I tired many different methods but in the end I found the easiest
was to do the following:

 

-          Bring up a new Koha system on the first release of Koha 3.000. 

-          Dump the Koha 2.x database

-          Load the 2.2 database on the new 3.0 system

-          Preform the upgrade steps as listed here
(http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Upgrading_2.2 )

-          Once the steps are taken you can then open the Webinf and run the
database upgrade (if needed)

-          You can then continue up to the latest version of Koha

 

Like I said, I just completed this and it went well. However, this will only
take your data and if you have any customisations to your system you will
need to migrate them another way.

Hi,

 

Hi, I'm a complete newcomer to the world of  Koha. We have an installation
of Koha 2.2.5 at a remote site, and we wish to migrate the data to a new
server running 3.4.

 

Simply importing the MySQL dump file doesn't seem to do the trick - I get
the borrowers but not the bibs etc. I've searched the archives, but most
information about in-situ upgrades. Anyone point me in the right direction
doco-wise?
