Trac Importer

Added by Erik Bos, last edited by Paul Goffin on Jul 27, 2007  (view change)

Description

This is a simple perl script that converts a Trac wiki to Confluence.

It gets all the Trac wikipages from the Trac database, attempts to converts the wiki tags and uploads them using xml-rpc to Confluence. If a page has multiple revisions it will convert all revisions.

Creator/lastmodifier metadata in this will be lost because Confluence's xml-rpc doesn't fully support this yet. (I filed http://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-7281 to get this resolved)

Usage

Download the script, fill in the username/password of trac and Confluence and run it.

This script needs the http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CONFEXT/Perl+XML-RPC+client plug in.

Bugs

Probably a lot, but it works ok in my case

    The current import process is to use either a third-party import script at http://shadone.blogspot.com/2006/10/trac-to-jira-migration.html or the JIRA CSV importer

    Thanks for this! Some notes :

     In order to get it working for those of us poor souls that setup Trac with SQLLite 3... # perl -MCPAN -e shell
    cpan> install DBI
    cpan> install DBD::PgLite
     (Accessing it directly with the SQLLite library led to issues, as the char_length command doesn't exist in SQLLite)

    Then modify the my $dbh line to instead read my $dbh = DBI->connect( "dbi:PgLite:trac.db" );
    Make sure you have XMLRPC::Lite, and RPC::XML installed using CPAN. (It wasn't installed by default on my Mac.)

    Hi,

    when I use this tool, I get this MSG:

    Content-Length header value was wrong, fixed at /usr/share/perl5/LWP/Protocol/http.pm line 189.
Result=

    I already tried to find a solution on http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CONFEXT/Perl+XML-RPC+client but there was none.

    Any idea how I can fix this?
