floating modular base items after DB migration

[ekroemer]

Hello all,

 

my head admin is trying to set up a root server and migrate our Epoch servers.

 

He exported the database from our old server and imported it on the new with the result that all items seem to be present but the modular base structures are floating in the air.

 

I cannot imagine it is the database, itself, the object coordinates should not have changed.

Also, he has made an exact copy of our set of modifications.

The Epoch base installation, however, may have changed, as on our old server the hoster provides this while we have to install by ourselves on the root server.

 

Does anyone have a hint where to look for the problem?

 

I vaguely remember that the BaseBuilding 1.2 script had some issues/freatures causing floating safes, could this be something similar (no we don't have BB on the server, but the mechanics may be related).

We've had this issue with secondary building. like hangers end up several meters up after restart. No idea hiw to fix it either.

I should have posted the 'solution' even if nobody had commented:

 

The problem went away when we imported the tables separately instead of the whold DB at once.
