Is the XAR file valid? The export function on our old XWiki 2.2 would never
produce a valid zip file.
I am wondering why you are using a XAR export/import in the first place.
Why not clone the database user and point your new XWiki to the clone? The
new XWiki should automatically perform the necessary upgrade of the
database user data, and it doesn't matter whether some of your old pages
use XWiki 1.0 syntax.

Hi,
our existing xwiki is running under Xwiki Enterprise version 1.5.11446
(very old).
I am evaluating XWiki 5.0.1 with a local standalone installation.
I would like to import all pages of a very old XWiki with the pages
being in xwiki 1.0 format. Exporting the pages to a *.xar file and
importing this in the 5.0.1 installation didn't work. There were no
error messages, but no content was shown during import.
The I created a simple test page in the old Xwiki in XWiki 2.0 format.
This could not be imported into XWiki 5.0.1, either.
What did work, is to copy the content of one page of the old xwiki in
the browser view and insert it in the wysiwyg editor of a newly
created page in the new xwiki. But this would have to be done for
every single page and I didn't test it with more complex pages with
tables and images.
Any idea how to import very old pages in the current version of XWiki?
Thanks in advance
Matthias
