Error importing site/content to 5.0.d created under 4.2.c

[aingham]

I'm receiving an error when running import-site.py. I've used "-d" option and looks as though problem is with the:

POST http://localhost:8080/share/service/modules/create-site

...call, which is returning:

reply: 'HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request\r\n'

I've run the same import on the 4.2.c installation that the export was run on (after purging the site) and that seems to work ok. Might this be due to the difference in versions?

Are you able to post the output from running with debug on? Obviously feel free to sanitize the output if you need to. Any logs from the Alfresco server would also help, there is probably a stacktrace there which might yield more info.

Hi, I have the same error and I dont know the source of the probleme. i used alf version 5.0.d as source and destination.

Re Hi :)
I found That we ned to add the JSSESSIONID to the json request to autheticate. I dont know if its true for this case but i share it anyway with you.

http://www.ixxus.com/blog201203creating-alfresco-share-sites-javascript/

the test with the commands below create d site for me :
curl -v -d @login.txt -H "Content-Type:application/x-www-form-urlencoded" http://alfresco:8080/share/page/dologin (to get de JESSIONID)

and this one to create de site using the JSESSIONID to authenticate :

curl -v -d @file.json -H "Cookie:JSESSIONID=732A6D32F62CECAA7D09FD6FF252814C" -H "Content-Type:application/json" -H "Accept:application/json" http://alfresco:8080/share/service/modules/create-site

[wabson]

The scripts use urllib2's cookie support to make the requests, so JSESSIONID should be passed back on subsequent requests once set.

Hi,
First excuse my english im not well english speaker.
I found the source of the problem it was mine.
I tried to importe a site that exist in share with the same name :( thats why i got the error.
I apologize for the disturbe.

But now i have a question about the import of site content frome 3.4 to 5.0.d did you tried to do this kind of export import? And do you think it will work?
Thnx a lot for your help.

[aingham]

@wabson Many thanks for getting back to me on this, but unfortunately I didn't get time to follow up and no longer working on this project.
