Bugzilla Import fails


Tom Frauenhofer (1.3k58435) | asked Nov 12 '08, 1:48 p.m.
Trying to retire our Bugzilla server in favor of our shiny new RTC 1.0.1
repository.

Using RTC 1.0.1 client, when I try to use the Bugzilla Importer, I get a
dialog box that says:


Unexpected content, please check Bugzilla URL and authentication.
The declaration for the entity "HTML.Version" must end with '>'.


The Bugzilla URL and credentials are correct.

I've found Defect 29839 that seems to be a direct hit on this symptom
but I'm not sure whether its been fixed or is still open.

Can someone suggest a way to workaround this problem .. or perhaps
there's a another way I can get a 1000 or so Bugzilla reports into RTC ?

Any help appreciated

Cheers

Defect 29839 is resolved, but defect 56559 is still open. I suspect
that the Bugzilla URL you entered is not using the format that the
importer expects. Could you post it here? Maybe we can spot the problem.

The URL that I gave the Importer was same URL that we use in our Web
browsers:

http://godel/bugs

BTW: We use Bugzilla 2.22.2 running on Linux

Is there something unusual about our Bugzilla server ?
Or does the RTC Bugzilla Importer have problems ?

Have you checked the error log? Is there anything logged when the
import fails? Did you try the fully qualified host name, too, with the
same problem?

Otherwise, please open a work item for this issue so we can track it better.

OK I fixed this problem by changing the authentication from Basic HTTP
to "Use Cookies". Its not clear to me why this fixes it.

The reporting of the error seems to be main difficulty here.
