Hi,
I'm with the task of migrating the 4.1.2 version of XWiki to a newer
version (7.4.3). I know very little about the XWiki, so would some initial
tips, please.
You have documentation on
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Upgrade.
4.1.2 to 7.4.3 should be OK but it all depends:
* what modifications you have on standard pages/templates
* what API you are using (we usually don't delete APIs but you might
need to install something that have been moved as optional extension
for example because it's not maintained anymore or makes more sense as
extension)
* Colibri skin has been removed so either you install it or you move
to Flamingo skin (Flamingo is way better and Colibri might not fully
work on 7.4.3)
Also you might want to look at
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Features/ContentOrganization
since the whole space/page/parent organization changed in 7.2.
- Can I migrate directly to version 4.1.2 to 7.4.3? What better way to do
this migration? Any tips? Some tutorial?
You should look at http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Upgrade
- Currently XWiki is a physical machine. Can I migrate a VM? There are
known problems in running Xwiki in a virtual machine?
Should work well.
- Where are stored the files that users place? In the database or
filesystem?
A bit of both. See http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Backup.
Thank you in advance.
Best regards,
Julio
