I remember having had such kind of issues with xar export with older
versions of XWiki. At that time, that's what decided me to use SQL database
dump instead (I used it mainly for backup activity).
I agree with Peter, would be better to clone your xwiki 1.5 database, point
on it from your new xwiki then let it perform db migration accordingly
during startup (and read proper release notes before of course).

Ok then indeed the best is to use some export
extension to create the
XAR. Did not know we had such bug in 1.5.

I confirm the issue.
I did an XAR export on an old wiki and the resulting XAR was not a valid
ZIP file. I managed to export the data via
http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Large+Wiki+Export .

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.

http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users 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
