Hi,

I was deploying the new OpenEdit version of my web site for HuskyGård (www.huskygard.se) on the latest openedit-editor ROOT.war by copying my backup to the new instance and trying to restore it. This failed with an error saying it could not move a file to .../trash/old....

This was on a Debian server running Sun Java System Web Server 7.3

Tried it locally and it didnt work on Vista with same Sun Java System WebServer either.

I took the liberty to fix the problem in this way:

in the source for com.openedit.modules.update.Backup method: replaceDirectories :

                    else
                    {
                        //this is an existing file in the inNewDirs directory
                        File backup = new File( inOldDirectory, child.getName() );

                        // FIX: IdreData, following line is added.
                        // Real code must check parent etc and maybe only do it once.
                        backup.getParentFile().mkdirs();

                        if( !existing.renameTo(backup) )
                        {
                            throw new IOException("Could not move " + existing.getPath() + " to " + backup.getPath());
                        }
                    }
                }
 

This made it work on all my systems. I am not sure why it failed on my debian to be honest. But that renameTo in File is fraught with platform dependent behavior.

Hopes this helps.
