Has anyone ever performed a migration that could give me some advice on
how it's done and if what I asked about below is possible?
I have checked out this:
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Backup
which suggests to backup the database but doesn't give any clue to
Postgresql!
Also is Xwiki content stored in a database or in the /webapps/xwiki
instance??
So if I simply backed up and restored the database and copied the xwiki/
dir across to a different platform the system should work?? Even if
going from Tomcat to Glassfish or so??
Thanks and regards,
Kaya

Hi,
I'm wondering if it's possible to migrate Xwiki from one system to another??
I currently run Xwiki on a FreeBSD 8.0 RELEASE x64 platform with 4GB RAM
in a dedicated FreeBSD Jail, however I'm having an issue with Java
spinning up the CPU to 100% rendering Xwiki inoperable!
If I migrate it would be from FreeBSD to either a dedicated FreeBSD
system or an OpenSolaris based system on Nexenta.
Currently I run Tomcat6 coupled with Postgresql, but would migrate to
Glassfish and MySQL.
Is it just a matter of backup the Xwiki from the web GUI then restore
under Glassfish and convert database from Postgresql to MySQL then
attach at other end?
Or can I just simply dump the /webapps/xwiki folder into Glassfish or
another instance of Tomcat?
Thanks for any advice!!
Regards,
Kaya
