Migrating data from Drupal to Mercury

G`day

Mercury makes use of Pressflow instead of Drupal plus some extra modules for caching and solr search.
Pressflow core is a drop in replacement for Drupal core.

So long as your site uses a standard core (not hacked) it should be very easy to migrate.

I have a blog post about this whilst very specific to my chosen workflow (Git etc ) it should still hold some valuable info for you.

This wiki page lists some Drupal modules that are not properly compatible with Pressflow/caching and some tips on fixing them.

Hi Mick !

Thanks for your response - will read the mentioned pages. In general what are the first sources I should have a look at for documentation and so on ?

Where to report errors?

Hi !

Is there also a standard way to report issues as I just imported a running page into my mercury installation and I get the following errors:
