Migrating from Foswiki 1.0.8 to 2.1.6

Hello,

We are using Foswiki 1.0.8 version running on Ubuntu 8.04 . We installed Foswiki 2.1.6 on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. We want to migrate the current data completely to the new one. Is it possible, if yes, how can we do it? Thank you.

Thank you for your reply. I tried bulk_copy.pl to convert the data. but it gives an error. I noticed that bulk_copy.pl is not compatible with Foswiki 1.0.x versions and is recommended to use CharsetConverterContrib to convert the data. But the file convert_charset.pl doesn't exist.

It is in the tools directory.

But, it doesn't exist there as well. I run this command, but it doesn't find it: find / -name convert_charset.pl

Did you install CharsetConverterContrib? I checked the ZIP package as well as GIT ... seems to there... https://github.com/foswiki/CharsetConverterContrib/tree/master/tools
