VM1 to VM2 - New Installation

[giorgos147]

Hello!

Two days now I am trying to migrate all of my products from VM1 to VM2.

I am using CSVI.

But, the only migration I can do is to migrate my categories and products without images and without having my products connected with the categories.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance!

Did you check Instructions on virtuemart.net?

I'm not sure what you mean.
I'm not using the embedded migrator.

Do not forget that I'm on a brand new installation of Joomla. Just a migrator is not for me, I think.

Migration (this forum section name) is NOT using CSVI Improved btw.

[PRO]

the categories changed ID's

You can make an export of the new categories, then, use a replace for the new category ID.

Why not use the migrator, it is easier.

To do it with csv, it's best to import into the database directly with some things, and to also use CSVI.

It's a multi step process when doing it this way.

You have to manually change IDs, and structure of the file.

&& you can do images, as long as they are in the right folder. && you make sure the correct URL path is in the import file.

you, also need to upload images to new folder, and then go to media manager & "synchronize" media.

I am on Joomla! Version 1.5.26 and I want a new, clean install of Joomla! 2.5.14 with the new VM.

I have tried to use CSVI but I cannot have a complete migration. My problem is that when I upload my CSVI Product Export the products and categories are okay, but:
1) the categories are not connected with my products
2) there are no images

I have also tried to use the Migrator but:
1) there are no images
2) not all of my products, not even the half of them, are migrated

What else can I do?

Thank you in advance!

2. I have also tried to use the Migrator but

1. Examples of your files for import, screen shot of import settings?
2. Post here in short how did you perform migration.

I think I did it through the migrator. Now I only have to load the images 

What I've done.

Took all the old VM'S databases and put them into my new VM's db. Then changed the prefix from "the_olds_db_prefix" to "new_db_prefix" and started the migration.

The only problem is that it tells me that "File for /home/xxxxx/public_html/xxx/images/stories/virtuemart/product/_________________xxxxxxx.png is missing", but all the images are in there. 

Thanks!
