Here’s the tricky part! Before launching the script you have to find a way to reach you current Mantis database, setting up remote access to a MySql database involves several steps and even if you do so sometimes the importation script fails anyway to connect to the database it took me a couple of hours of tries before finding this simple workaround: copy the whole mantis database folder from mantis’ MySql\Data to Redmine’s MySql data folder. Now you just have to look in the mysql database folder “C:\Program Files\BitNami Redmine Stack\mysql\data” and you’ll see the valid database defined (in my case bitnami_remine, which corresponded to the production environment). To identify it you can open the database configuration file: “C:\Program Files\BitNami Redmine Stack\apps\redmine\config\database.yml” and for each environment you can see the related database. git/bin:/opt/bitnami/sqlite/bin:/opt/bitnami/ruby/bin:/opt/bitnami/subversion. Otherwise you can check your available environments looking at this folder: “C:\Program Files\BitNami Redmine Stack\apps\redmine\config\environments”, you can have different environment there, but only one is valid, that is: it has a database associated with it. This plugin integrates with and work only with Redmine Invoices plugin (by. If you set up the Redmine installation by yourself you already have this data available. Before launching the script you have to figure out your “environment”, for a default Bitnami istallation it is set to “production”. inside the command prompt navigate to “C:\Program Files\BitNami Redmine Stack\apps\redmine” you have to launch the import script from there for it to work correctly. Navigate to your installation folder, in my case “C:\Program Files\BitNami Redmine Stack” and use “use_redmine.bat” to open the command prompt. I tried to follow it but it didn’t worked for me at start, I had to do some more things in order to make it work: #Svn plugin bitnami redmine how to
To make things short I installed the Bitnami Remine Stack, then I started to face the problem of how to import the data I had in Mantis, the official documentation for the full migration can be read here.

Today I decided to give Redmine a try as my new project management and bug tracking solution, mainly cause I wanted to try its integration with Subversion (given the fact that setting up an integration between Mantis and Subversion is a really painful).
