[Typo3-dev] Linux to Windows

[Karsten Dambekalns]

Hi,

First of all, have you tried to use the Export/Import feature of
TYPO3? I have used this a few times, and it worked fine. There have
been some bug reports about this lately, but it's worth a try - and if
there are some bugs, just submit them to bugs.typo3.org

In case you have never seen this feature: Call up the click menu of
the root *page* of your site, choose 'More options...' and then
'Export to .t3d'. Play around with the export settings, then export.

When importing, you have to create at least one page, before you can
call up the click menu to import. Then go to 'Import from .t3d' and
import the exported file. Move the 'real root page' one level up and
remove the import dummy page you may have created.

Worked for me. :)

But now on to the original thread...

It isn't, only part of it... What you see is part of some serialized
PHP data that is in the database.

(Potential) Problems that were mentioned:
 - 67 for chars - no problem, just import that, MySQL (and PHP
 thereafter) should understand that there are no DOS line
 endings. Just do NOT convert the dump from \n to \r\n. *Should* work.

 - / instead of \ - doesn't harm at all. PHP can handle / just fine on
 all platforms it runs on.

 - /home/... instead of c:/.... Now *that* is something I can only
 guess on: Ever tried just to search and replace those parts and
 adapting the length of the 'string' in the serialized data? Could be
 done automatically by some small PHP script and making use of
 preg_replace with the e modifier.
