Restore Wiki in Mavericks from Lion Server

I´m trying to restore my Wiki Data from a Lion Server to Mavericks. I'm following this instructions, OS X Server: Migrating and copying wiki data from Lion Server,

sudo chown -R _teamsserver:_teamsserver /Library/Server/Wiki/FileData

sudo chmod -R +a "www allow search" /Library/Server/Wiki/FileData

sudo serveradmin stop wiki

sudo serveradmin start postgres_server

cd /Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot/usr/bin/

sudo ./dropdb -h "/Library/Server/PostgreSQL For Server Services/Socket" -U collab collab

sudo ./createdb -h "/Library/Server/PostgreSQL For Server Services/Socket" -U collab collab

sudo -u _postgres ./pg_restore -h "/Library/Server/PostgreSQL For Server Services/Socket" -d collab -U collab --single-transaction /tmp/collab.pgdump

sudo serveradmin start wiki

but when I introduce the line "sudo serveradmin start postgres_server", the answer is always "postgres_server:error = "CANNOT_START_SERVICE_ERR"".

Somebody may help me?

Those instructions don't apply to Mavericks Server.

Thanks Linc:

I followed that instructions first but I had a persistent problem with "Contacts and Calendars". Assistant Migration doesn't allow a selective importation. Definitely I decided a clean installation (I have only a few users and services and I can afford). I backup and export all data I install a new fresh Mavericks Server and I import all data again. Now all it's going fine and my "final point" is restore the Wiki. I have the "collab.pgdump" exported from Lion Server and "FileData" files backup.

¿Do you know if it's possible to restore in Mavericks from it?

Thanks for your interest.

I can update a copy of the old Lion Server to Mavericks. The Wiki files seems not be corrupted, only de files related with Contacts and Calendars. Then now I would have two Mavericks servers. Because the OD is the same, do you think it will work if I copy this two files from one to another?.

/Library/Server/PostgreSQL For Server Services

/Library/Server/Wiki

What will happen with other services, specially with Contacts and Calendars?

The first of those items is not used in Mavericks, and should in fact contain no files. As for the second, it might work.

It doesn't work.

I have a very large wiki. I can not believe that there is no way to export it from Server to Lion Server and retrieve it in Mavericks Server.

Thanks for your help.

What happens in the logs when you try to start the service? System log and Wiki error log.

I'm trying again with the instructions I have found here: Wiki migration issues to OSX Server Mavericks.

To do a Wiki backup in the old computer with Mavericks:

sudo mkdir /Volumes/Mavericks/temp

sudo /pg_dump -h "/Library/Server/Wiki/PostgresSocket" --format=c --compress=9 --blobs --username=collab --file=/Volumes/Mavericks/temp/collab.pgdump collab

Restore in the new Mavericks computer:

Paste the Wiki folder of the old computer in Server of the new one

sudo chown -R _teamsserver:_teamsserver /Library/Server/Wiki/FileData

sudo chmod -R +a "www allow read" /Library/Server/Wiki/FileData

pg_restore -h "/Library/Server/Wiki/PostgresSocket" -d collab -U collab --single-transaction /temp/collab.pgdump

I'll tell to you the results and the logs if fail.

Thanks

Now when I'm trying to restore I have always "pg_restore: command not found". There is a sintaxis mistake? (My folder with the collab.pgdump is "temp2")

servidor:~ admin$ sudo pg_restore -h "/Library/Server/Wiki/PostgresSocket" -d collab -U collab --single-transaction /temp2/collab.pgdump

sudo: pg_restore: command not found

Thanks
