yup! and as mentioned before.. if there are any other ISSUES about modules/components.. better check with its corresponding 3PD developer or author. to do this,.. please use the SEARCH function in the forum ;) OR go directly to the authors site for support in the migration. as long as you can see in the system information that it says that your core is Joomla 1.0.2 then the AUTO MIGRATION / UPDATE / UPGRADE script does what is supposed to do. :)

there may be simple adjustments though when you use this script like the admin/backend template and images, icons, logos, banner ads of mambo does not change to the default of Joomla.  its pretty small issue or not an issue at all, since its just  changing and a little reconfiguring those logo, images, etc..

its a safety measure of this script NOT to overwrite currently used items.

Hello gulliam another suggesstion how about a backup system while migrating i.e is before migration you could GZIP all the Files in the Joomla folder and then proceed. The backup file wil remain in the joomla folder as a single Gzip file.

is this for the reason that if anything goes wrong, the user who made the migration will just restore that backup?

*Bump*

D'oh....just posted this on the wrong thread...so I am reposting here:

Very cool...

Just found this thread...I must say I am very excited.

My site is in a transitional state right now...

We have a working, live  HTML site in our webroot. I have a temporary *ambo 4.5.2.3 install in a directory off of our root. I am using a number of components / modules with it. I am also running SMF 1.1 beta 4 on both the *ambo site and the live site (different dbs) and have that bridged and using the SMF login module.

I am running one of the 'rv' themes. I do not have an option for any others. I know that the cPanel is version 10.8.0-RELEASE-58 and the cPanel pro is version 1.0 (RC36). It is definitely running on port 2083. I did try to manually put in the non-secured URL address on port 2082 and I did get to my cPanel just fine. If this is the case, will this script work or does the script go to http://[nameofsite]/cpanel? Can I rig it so it goes to http://www.[nameofsite]:2082 vs. https://www.[nameofsite]:2083?

I have been waiting for the right time and method to convert my *ambo over to Joomla and it looks like your script might make that possible and relatively painless. I also know that at one time or another, I screwed up all the file and directory permissions on the *ambo site.

Can you give me some advice on how I should proceed? Also, I tried to go to your posted link and it does not seem to be working...is it down currently?

Thank you very much!

Admittedly, I'm a writer first, and webmaster second--I have nightmares in PHP code. I just converted from Mambo 4.5.2 to Joomla 1.0.2 using this script. Everything is golden, except I keep getting this error on the front end:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare botmosimage() (previously declared in /home/absynt3/public_html/mambots/content/mosimage.php:21) in /home/absynt3/public_html/mambots/content/mosimage_ext.php on line 17

What am I missing or doing wrong? I've tried avoiding messing with the MySQL tables, since I'm most likely to cause a nuclear meltdown, but any help would be appreciated!

I have setup a demo site, to test this before using on a production site.  The cpanel username field only excepts 8 characters.  I'm one character short when trying to run the migration script.  This is the only thing stopping me from testing.  I'll also add that I'm using site5.com which uses custom themes (na4). After looking at the joomla migration site, I just took the string out of the URL, just as specified. I hope that won't stop me from using the migration script. Could this be possible?

Hi everyone

I'm trying to use this swetty  :P to migrate from *ambo 4.5.2, but it looks I cant understand it quite well  :-[.

1.- How do you know wich system to use (direct or cpanel)
2.- In direct I get host/user or password is incorrect (but the ones I put are the ones)
3.- in Cpanel I cant put my full username and passwords (too long)
4.- On the database name should the prefix be included
5.- Is there a tutorial somewhere for real newbies

Thanks in advance

Rayonegro  ???

Rayo, You'll have to check with your web hosting company to see what web host admin utility they use.  Cpanel is probably one of the most common. I also have the problem of my password being too long for the cpanel version of the script.

I wonder if this is the primary place for assistance w/ this?  Or is there another forum?

heh, I toughed it out. I followed the help doc's and got it perfect.  All I can say is... Its pretty easy. Just read em carefully, and backup backup backup. I was able to move my site from the internet to my localhost w/o a hitch. 

I would of liked to try this out tho'. It seems as if this has been abandoned?  :o  Lets all hope not!

you are installing in the root? try installing in a subfolder.

Hi Guilliam,

I'm not installing.... I'm migrating. Direct Admin. Mambo 4.5.2 site is in the ROOT, so I'm trying to use your website to do the migration.

I get the same response as Sasian above:

*** Please correct error(s) ***
- Invalid Directory
its installed in root and i left that directory field blank

Been waiting a week for an answer to this on the other thread. With no response, I have no choice but to try a manual install, which I would VERY much like to avoid, in the morning.

Please reward my patience... figure out what I'm doing wrong or what you missed while I'm sleeping  :)

hello @catamaran,

is this where you are migrating the site?

http://joomla.astang.com/automigrate?cp=da

the last time on our alpha and beta tests for DA,.. it was working(thoug it was quite a long time ago). if this STILL doesnt work then im sorry to say but the alternative path to go is the manual migration in your case.

Hi Guilliam,

Yes, that's the URL I'm using to do the migrate.

had a thought when I was drifting off to sleep last night ..... I'm using a shared server, so what I thought was ROOT might not have been. So I went back today and tried to put the server's path into the path box, but since you don't allow slashes, that doesn't work either.

What code have you written which specifically triggers the "Invalid directory" error message?

Regards,
Cat

P.S. Can you sense how much I don't want to do this manually? ;)

get it to 4.5.2 first.. since your version is still on 4.5.1 there will be issues.

Dear Guilliam

My hosting is with http://www.ipowerweb.com and they use VDECK.  I have tried both the cpanel and direct auto installs that you have listed but to no avail.  I am trying to get a wedding site up for my finace and myself and its not going well.

I was hoping for a website that could have a forum and I loved the look of joomla and its abilities.  I have purchased a domain name that I can forward to a sub-domain of my present hosting so the isntall does not need to go in the root of my webspace at all.

I can supply any information you need but bare in mind I am a newbie and I will do the best I can.  I am also willing to donate my VDECK so that you can figure out how to make your script work with vdeck I am sure there are many people out there that would use this script with vdeck.

Thank you for anytime you give me, I ahve pm'ed you with my information and hope to hear from you soon, just add me to your msn.

Kris

Hmmm, I've tried this cPanel version now on three different sites with 4.5.2.3 patched and it says it worked, but nothing at all has changed. They are untouched as far as I can tell. Wish there was a debug version to see what was going on during the supposed migration.

Everyone finding the migration is doing "nothing": I had the same problem, and just figured it out:

Our mambo installations are in a directory of the form www.site.com/home/username/public_html/

But the script is installing to the ROOT of our sites...

Until we are able to use "slashes" in the "Directory Name" we won't be able to fix this apparently...

So by the way, you have a whole installation of Joomla in your root directory if this happened...you can use FTP or cPanel's "File Manager" (under "Files") to delete the extra files...(NOTE: you should see public_html in the file manager and be able to see your old mambo installation if this is your situation!)

Look forward to a workaround for this! :)

Aaron
