I can keep the Postgres database that isn't a problem as it's available on all platforms. However, when you say that Xwiki should be the same release I was hoping to just copy the webapps/xwiki container as if I'm not mistaken the xwiki.war file that I'm using gets extracted by Tomcat/Glassfish or other which fully contains the Xwiki instance minus the DB??..... Moving that should keep everything in check with a few additions to the hibernate.cfg.xml file if changing database! .....I presume as I need to test this out fully first before things blow up in my face! > [...] > > Thus, by fully backing up your database and once converted to the system > of your choice and by moving the concerned /webapps directory to the new > servlet container, functioning must be restored with a minor number of > adjustments. > Ok, so I think you are explaining exactly the same thing as I've just put above; meaning that I've got the right strategy in mind. > Please, take into account that I've never moved XWiki installation > across systems, only between boxes running the same servlet containers > and relational database manager systems.

If not I'll switch back to Tomcat/Postgres combo but I'm sure running the system on Solaris or Linux will be much better then my current BSD install as Java seems to spin up the CPU to 100% meaning that from what I've read and the 'top' code of uxtn that I'm getting, tells me that the threads are getting stuck, not being able to address the memory properly. Means I'll have to file a bug report with ISC and then debug Java - something which I'm not really capable of doing since I'm not a programmer and have no idea about Java. > Hope this helps! > > Ricardo > > Yep it helps a lot :-) Thanks again, Kaya _______________________________________________ users mailing list users@xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users
