Moving from rt2 to rt3, and switching databases

RT Users

Hey all -

We have an installation of RT2 using postgres. We WANT to upgrade to

RT3.2.2 and move to MySQL. Is this convieniently possible, and has
anybody done it before? Any caveats to watch out for?

Regards,

Rolf Brusletto

  1. You can do that with rt2-to-rt3 tool, download it from
    www.bestpractical.com
  2. To move to mysql you should install RT3.2 on MySQL from the beginning.

Thanks Ruslan, I actually had just found it in the RT3 README. At any
rate, had a good conversion from postgres to mysql, about 5500 tickets,
all imported perfectly. This is also using a test bed of FC3 w/
Apache2, mod_perl2 and Perl 5.8.5, and MySql 4.1. This wasn’t a
production move, but did use full production data. Does anybody have an
Apache2/mod_perl2 setup with any good results, or is it still suggested
to use apache 1.3.x?

Redgards,

Rolf

yes, people use MP2 in production, only thing is that MP should be at
least 1.99_14. IMHO it should be latest stable release built from
sources. Since MP2 is OK as DSO then you can use distro’s apache server.
