David, How did you manage the archiveList file? Did you move this file along with the .sja files? If so, I'm not sure that this will work. This is a binary file, unfortunately, so you can't open and modify it. But it does not contain path-specific data, so you should be able to move it. It just contains a listing (in a hashmap) of all of your archives.
The error message tells me that maybe there's a stray character or some bad xml in the .sja file that you manually modified. I was able to copy an archive from a Linux box to a Windows box, modify the .sja to point to the new path and remove a user that did not exist on the server I was importing to, and make it work. To add the archive to archiveList, I first added a new archive with the same name on the Windows server and then overwrote the .sja and archives directory with the files from my Linux box. Everything worked fine, so there's no essential problem with the xml. The main problem is that this process is more complex (and manual) than it ought to be. Take another look at that .sja file and look for anything weird. If you can't find anything, send it to me and I'll have a look. Thanks. --Rob --- David Tam <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On a red hat linux box running, I tar up the sourcejammer archives > directory.
