Required files from old Config Dir?

[ltoolio]

Hey all,

Just took the plunge from 5.X to the 6.0 Beta 14, and I'm having some problems at initial boot.

 

Everything works fine when I use the base install, but the moment I copy my old Config directory I can't get to http://tower or ping the old IP Address.

 

I'm planning on redoing all my old plugins to Dockers, so all I want to make sure works is:

- my old drive config

- shares

- any of the other "base" stuff I might need (PWs, smb, whatever).

 

Can someone share what those necessary/base config files I need to copy over are?

 

Thanks!

I've used that page, and from what I can tell it's suggesting:

 

- Don't copy the plugins folder

- Don't copy SimpleFeatures

- Copy the rest of the stuff.

 

The quote from the source article seems to suggest that I shouldn't copy the other subfolders that might exist other than the Shares folder.  Is that right?

 

>>> I had an 'email' folder that I also deleted.  There was a 'shares' folder that I copied along with the files in the root of the 'config' directory because inspection of the folder showed that it contained the setup for my shares.  I would surmise that this 'shares' folder would be the only folder that most people would want to retain from their old 'config'  directory. <<<

I've been working on a wiki page to help with the v5 to v6 upgrade, but it's woefully incomplete so far.  It does however cover the pre-upgrade and upgrade steps, if you would like to check it.  Critiques and suggestions are welcome!

Hey RobJ,

I couldn't get it to work even if copied over the bare minimum files.

 

So, I just copied over my Shares directory and reconfigured the array with the prior drive config.  All is working now.
