Migrate the documents folder

• export EPrints 2 Metadata using the provided migration toolkit, make change to the exported XML if necessary.
• import the XML to EPrints 3 server
• copy over the documents folder to the new server
• run epadmin upgrade, epadmin update [repoid] -- to upgrade the database structure
• run epadmin upgrade_add_files [repoid] -- to add the file object introduced in eprints3

If the files are not downloadable (giving eprints system error), delete the file table in the database, then do epadmin update(create the files table), then rerun epadmin upgrade_add_files

The migration tool has also the option to migrate documents, did you use it?

Hello,

I'm in the middle of migrating from a very old version 2 server to the 
current version.  I've been able to use the migration tool to export 
and import most of the data successfully.  I've had to massage some 
things here and there but for the most part, it looks successful.

The only issue is that the pdfs and html documents of the eprints 
themselves have not come across as well.  The entries are there, just 
not the documents themselves.  I have tried recreating an example 
document, using the same directory structure as it seems to be 
expecting, but it did not work.  I was hoping to just be able to 
wholesale copy the filesystem across and it would work.

Anyone have any suggestions please?
