Hi, I am having an issue transferring my Gramps DB from one system to another. I wonder if anyone can help. I get the following error message when I try to open / import the database *"/tmp/tmpGBpQG7 could not be opened"* This file has the following permissions *-rw------- 1 woods woods 1228800 2008-07-29 18:18 tmpGBpQG7* Here are some details of my systems. Current System ========= Ubuntu 7.10 - Running Gramps version 2.2.9-1 New System ======= Ubuntu 8.04 - Running Gramps version 3.0.1-1 I've copied the .grdb file plus a photos sub directory to my new system. When I load gramps on my new system, I choose to create a new family tree (Open option not available!), and then select to import the grdb file. Have I missed something? Do I need to transfer files from the .gramps directory? I have assumed that all data in relation to the database will reside in a FamilyTree directory nominated by me. Any help appreciated regards Colin Woods. |

Thomas & Peter, The steps you outlined worked perfectly. An initial scan of my data seems to show everything present and correct. I had to do a little trial and error to figure out the relative location for my Photos directory. This turned out to be my users home directory. A quick directory mv command sorted this issue. Many thanks Colin Woods.

Note that this is a known issue when the user removes the database environment of the to be imported grdb, or moves the grdb file. GRAMPS is perfectly capable of importing 2.2.x grdb files if the environment is present. Benny 2008/7/30, Colin Woods <gr...@li...>: > Thomas & Peter, > > The steps you outlined worked perfectly.

I am not sure what you mean with the database environment. I still have the log files under my .gramps/env/. All I did was upgrade to Gramps 3 (apt-get install gramps). And now I am not able to import my .grdb databases. Same error as Colin reported: /var/tmp/tmp... could not be opened. That file seems to be a copy of the .grdb database file, and I do have read/write permissions to the file. I guess I will have to use the convert to XML procedure. But that means reinstalling Gramps 2.2 first.

I was able to recreate them from saved backups. Then, the .grdb files could be read in Gramps 3 without problems.
