Bonjour,
I’d like to test migration D7/D8 in the following case :
D7 website is on my local PC (easyphp server)
D8 website is on an external hosting I use for testing migration.
I don’t use drush. I use the Migrate Upgrade interface
is it possible to test migration in that case?
I imported the source database in a second D8 database, created especially for that migration. I think it works well.
As for source files (for my first test, I just have an image and a pdf to migrate), must I let drupal 8 search the files on my pc or do I need to copy the source files directory on the D8 server, in a new directory specially created for that purpose ?
if I must let D8 search in my pc directories, the actual path is the following :
C:\Program Files (x86)\EasyPHP-5.3.8.1\www\cms\drupal750\sites\default\files
Can I copy that path just like that in the migrate interface UI webform ?
If I have to copy the files in D8 environnement, where do I create that new directory with the source files?
At same level as Core, modules, themes ? Elsewhere ?
and what to indicate to the D8 UI interface to let it know where to find files?
Can you give me a little of your experimentation, please?
All the best
Sahuni

in finals, to test that
in finals, to test that migration
I create a second database on D8 server. Inside I copy my D7 database. I use that second db during migration.
I create a directory on D8 server. Inside I have my old sites/default/files. I use that directory during migration.
It works with basic nodes and new content types with an image and 1 pdf. I get the image and pdf.
I must continue with more elaborate cases. But it's a beginning!
