Hi,

first of all thank you for your response.
I did use an database migration tool and the new Maria DB Database seems like an correct Liferay Database but the Server still doesn't start correctly.

Hi Alexander,

You can't not use LARs to migrate the whole database from one server to other. This is not a Liferay issue, it is more related with the database itself so please use the database export/import options or any tools which include this database migration funcionality. Doing a quick research I can get:

I hope it helps

Liferay 7 Database Migration MS SQL --> Maria DB

Hi,

we are using an Liferay 7 Instance with Microsoft SQL and want to migrate to Maria DB.

After Migrating I get the following Exception.

What could be the Cause, is there maybe an recommanded way to migrate an whole Liferay Database (not just the pages via lar files)?
