Restore 1.2.3 Config to 2.1 fails "The Configuration Could Not Be Restored"
-
No, this is a standalone box with nothing by my laptop connected.
So here's what I did that managed to get it working. I changed the address from .1.1 to .44.1, this allowed me into the webconfigurator on port 80. I then created a security certificate and changed the webconfigurator over to https and port 443. I then changed the address back to the original .1.1 and was able to get in using the original address.
Not sure why but the box just will not accept a port 80 connection if it's IP is the .1.1 443 connection is fine.
I ran a port scanner and the port is open. Anyway, 443 should be what is used anyway, so I think all is fine now.

Hi everyone,
i guess i'm on the right section of the forum as me too cannot use my xml file from 1.2.x to 2.1 and i get "The Configuration Could Not Be Restored", not really familiar with xml so i just put it as an attachment if someone has the time to look at it.
Thanks for the help,

I'm not sure if it is the cause, but I noticed at the bottom of your XML there is a bunch of package information. I believe the Wiki states to export the 1.2.3 configuration without package data. Package data cannot be imported.

thanks,
i have 2 backups 1 with package and 1 without, none are working; here is the one without (i think) -
The steps outlined by Phil earlier in the post worked out beautifully to find the error. It's really simple, just copy, paste (change the file name), run.

i'm sure it does but i don't understand it :-(

The file even fails basic XML validation. What options are you using when you export it?
-
diagnostics - backup

You might want to start a new thread. Did you maybe open the file in another program before trying the import? They should have come out with .xml extensions not the .txt files you have posted. The export is a mess there's back slashes after every line and incorrect data in the header.

Thank you,
i will do that! (i have the .xml but just posted .txt).
