Copying files from one installation to another

ERPNext
1

Hi,

I’m trying to move some information from one installation to another, without doing the whole backup-restore, to avoid bringing old issues to the new installation.

I am able to properly download-sanitize-upload the template with needed data, including some files’ paths.

I’ve copied the files to the same path on the new installation, but they are not loading, showing a Forbidden error.

I’ve checked for the file permissions to be correct, I have cleared the cache and the website cache, but files still don’t show up properly (images, attachments).

I’ve manually added a new file in the new installation, verified permissions and ownerships are the same between copied files and brand-new file, still I get the same issue.

Please help :pray:

What type of deployment are you using?

A couple weeks back I followed these steps to migrate JUST the site. No apps etc.

Thank you for your reply.

I have erpnext v14 in cloud. I did another fresh installation on premise.

I’m moving information from the old cloud installation to the new on premise installation by exporting csv files with all the data, including images and attachments locations.

When I place the same images and same attachments from the old installation in the new installation, the files are not permitted to be accessed.

It seems that they are found, but not permitted to be shown (images a broken link, attachments as Not permitted error)

Did you try with the method I linked to.
