Hi all. I have a scoop site just used for discussion among friends, and it's pushing 7 years old now. I've used a single database the whole way through, upgrading as I went. It's occasionally been twitchy, and now I'm in a situation of trying to redeploy the site on a new box running Fedora 8 with stock RPM installs of Apache 2, mod_perl 2, and most of the Perl modules. While I'm at it, I'd like to run the most recent version of Scoop too (from cvs). I did manage to get a clean install of cvs scoop running under Apache 2 / mod_perl 2 (at least it shows the front page and links work), but when I tried to port and upgrade my older site's install, front page access attempts result in a 0-byte file of type "httpd/unix- directory", and if I try to run the clean new build and the old one together, Apache segfaults. Not good. I'm thinking now that enough cruft has built up in the datbase over the years that maybe it's time to just try to export the meat of my site and pull it into a clean environment rather than try another in- place upgrade on what might be an increasingly damaged base. I'm guessing I'd have to move the following: - comments, macros, pollquestions, pollanswers, pollvoters, sections, stories, topics, userprefs, users, viewed_stories tables - any custom boxes - user files Any opinions for or against such an effort? Other things to consider? Has anybody done this? I'd have to compare the structures of the tables to see if anything's changed, and possibly code up a converter, but I'd think that shouldn't be too hard if it's necessary. (This is from version 1.1 to the current CVS, btw.) Thanks in advance for any ideas.
