Validation failed when migrating from Mantis

I tried a new clean install of the BitNami Redmine stack but still end up with the same error message when migrating from Mantis.

I entering the settings:
adapter [mysql]
host [localhost]
database [bugtracker]
username [root]
password []
encoding [UTF-8]

and get:
Validation failed: Login already taken

What does this mean? I have used the root-login that workes otherwise (mysql -u root – password) but now the migration doesn’t work.

Problem fixed, thank you!

I am glad the issue is fixed. Can you please describe here what you did to solve the problem ? It may be helpful for other BitNami users.

Thank you !

The user ‘admin’ already existed in my Redmine installation. But there was also a ‘admin’ user in the Mantis installation, so there was a conflict when the script tried to copy the information from the Mantis database to the Redmine database.

I solved the issue by changing the username in the Redmine installation, from ‘admin’ to ‘redmine_user’. Then everything was copied from the Mantis database to the Redmine database correctly!

Thanks for info !
