[Moin-user] Migration from 1.2.1 to 1.5.9

[Suresh Krishna]

Thanks for the tips. I am on windows xp.

I ran 12_to_13_mig01.py, 12_to_13_mig02.py, 12_to_13_mig03.py and
12_to_13_mig04.py.
On the migration script (12_to_13_mig04.py) i get the following error....

*Error: can't copy 'data.pre-mig4\pages\ZufallsSeite\text' to
'data\pages\ZufallsSeite\text'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File
"C:\tmp\MOINWIKI\Lib\site-packages\MoinMoin\script\old\migration\12_to_13_mig04.py",
line 150, in <module> convert_eventlog(opj(origdir, 'event.log'),
opj('data', 'event-log'))
  File

Any idea where they are coming from. What do they mean ?

Thanks,
Krishna
