Is it possible to migrate a chilliproject database to redmine?

Yes, I've done it last week - just see here and use Redmine 2.1 as starting point:

If you can wait, I can write a more detailed blog post with some more hints for typical migration issues...

+1 - I guess a lot of us appreciate your effort

Currently I'm struggling with some issues where Redmine crashes when displaying issue details - so I need some days to find a fix for that.

Hopefully I can deliver some scripts and fixes till Friday. A simple german step-by-step docu already exists and just has to be translated.

Chris,
How I can help?

I´m afraid you can't ;-) ...regarding the bugs around displaying issues (there are only a few out of thousands which make problems - 99,9% of all issue tickets don't face any problems after migration).

Do you need the howto very shortly? (today?)

I'll upgrade my server next April so I'll migrate from Chiliproject to Redmine at the same time and am therefore interested in a working solution to do this task.
I came across this script which seems to take care of a database migration from Chiliproject to Redmine >= 2.3. I haven't tested it yet however.

As promised here a simple guide from our migration - which extends the chili-to-redmine guide:

https://github.com/asinteg/chiliproject-to-redmine/blob/master/README.md

I've not tested the Ruby scrip, but it should to exactly the same job of the Java tool of the chili-to-redmine guide.

The problems you have to face with, are the same for any migration tool - unless it contains the SQL fixes of our Readme (which it doesn't).

I hope the Readme / updated guide helps - if you have questions: Don't hesitate to contact me.
