Hello
The company I work for has developed a new website and gone live (wordpress) and the old site is in (silverstripe). They need some information from the site and I have tried importing the database to XAMPP phpmyadmin but I am experiencing some errors specifically a 1064 error, which I believe is a generic error which covers a lot of different topics.
Has anyone else had this problem before if so how did you go around resolving?
thanks
Joe
A few things:
Beware that the default on windows is case insensitivity. You can't just export the database to a production environment. Sometimes SS is smart enough to rename capital letters, but ... I dunno what kind of magic is around that.
PHPMyAdmin is kinda rubbish at db import/export. Use the command line.
If it still fails, then it's probably a dodgy export. Take a new one. Use the command line.
Or depending on the size, manually trawl through the dump file. The info is in plain text after all. Ctrl+F SiteTree (pages), or the DataObject name you're looking for.
Depends on how critical the info is of course. Probably don't really wanna resort to that.
So I googled 1064, and it came back immediately with 'syntax error' which means it must be a dodgy dump.
