Dear Vimp,

We would like to import everything from ostube to vimp.

Version/Installation path:
-ostube 2.6 (/var/www/ostube)
-vimp pro with hd transcode 2.1.4 (/var/www/vimp)

# tar xvzf vimp.module.ostubeimport-2.1.4-r19425.tar.gz
#./symfony rebuild
#./symfony framework:import mysql://OSTUBE-DBUSERNAME : OSTUBE- DBPASSWORD@localhost/OSTUBE-DBNAME --base-dir="/var/www/ostube"

We have the following questions

-the above commands are correct?
-it wont make change anything in ostube?
-if we break the process in the middle of the way and we run it again it's resume or restart?


Let us know if you need more input or you dont understand.


Best Regards,

Makara

Hello chanmakara,

fyi: after installing the osTube-import-module, you can show a helpfile in the ViMP-directory by typing

Code:

./symfony help framework:import

And this link may help you, too:
http://www.vimp.com/en/documentation-faq-article/items/install-and-use-the-ostube-import-module.html


your questions:

Zitat:

-the above commands are correct?

Nearly, you have to type the options before the dsn like this:

Code:

./symfony framework:import --base-dir="/var/www/ostube

mysql://ostubedb-user:ostubedb-pw@localhost/ostubedb-name[/code]
If you have a working osTube and the ViMP on the same server, you don´t need

Zitat:

-it wont make change anything in ostube?

No, the import doesn´t change anything with the osTube when you use the above command.
Beware of the option --move, this moves instead of copy the files from osTube to ViMP for users with too small HDDs.

Zitat:

-if we break the process in the middle of the way and we run it again it's resume or restart?

It doesn´t resume, it restarts.
If the import doesn´t succeed, please contact me at support@vimp.com (only in this case, thx)

If you have a big osTube-Portal, maybe you get a message like this:

Code:

...
>> import      - blog comments
>> import    * calculate statistic fields
>> import      - users
>> import      - medias
>> import    * import settings


  No database selected [Native Error: MySQL server has gone away]

Please note the whole output that is shown while importing and send it to me. Then I can send you a modified import class. With it you can resume the import.

And be patient with the import. I´ve just run an import with ~7000 media and ~250 users on a (small) local vhost. It needed about 20 hours just importing the database and broke with the above message. But that´s no problem, we´ll succeed then together :-)

Kind Regards,

Dear Support,

Thank for your quick response and detail information.

Dear Support,

After running the script

#./symfony framework:import mysql://vimp:vimp@localhost/ostube --force --base-dir="/var/www/ostube"

it copies only database, blog... but not ostube data.

Any advise?

Best Regards,

Makara

Hello chanmakara,

you have to set the options before the mysql-dsn.

.... --force mysql://...

Only the media from osTube will be copied.

With the actual import we have implemented 2 further options "--without-database" and "--without-data". Did you tryout one?
If not, both should happen, the database should be imported and the files should be copied.

cheers,

Dear Support,

I try the following command

/var/www/vimp/symfony framework:import mysql://vimp:vimp@localhost/ostube --without-db --base-dir="/var/www/ostube"

I got the following message

Dear Support,

Please kindly advise on import script if server ostube and vimp are not on the same server. What command we use?


Best Regards,

Makara

Hello dinamozzz,

if ViMP and osTube are on different servers, I would mount the osTube-folder on the ViMP-server per NFS.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_File_System_%28protocol%29

But the only reason to do so is, if you have not enough disk-space on the ViMP-server. You nead at least 2,5x diskspace of what your osTube needs.
Just copy the whole osTube-folder to your ViMP-Server, zhe osTube doesn´t need to work, and start the import.

hi
can i import ostube 2.1 and 2.3 to vimp 2.2?

Hello overclocker.mad@gm,

no, that is not possible, but you can update the osTube to osTube 2.6.
In fact only the database has to be updated.

cheers,

that means that i need to update 2.1 directly to 2.6
and 2.3 to 2.6 and then to vimp?

Hello,

yes, the import only works with osTube 2.6.

cheers,

maybe i can import it manualy ?

if you can, have a try. I´m not able to do this.

But it´s very more easy to update to osTube 2.6
You can still download the latest Release from ostube.de.
If you didn´t change the template, the normal update should work. If not, check the sql-file and update the database manually.

The update-files are in the install/ folder.

But please understand that we´re not able to support osTube.


cheers,
