So I installed RavendDB on a Win2003 server using these instructions:

http://old.ravendb.net/documentation/docs-deployment-iis

And i get the following error when I try to browse to the site. Any ideas? 

Version of log file is not compatible with Jet version

  • Did you run RavenDB on a different OS and then transfer it to Windows Server 2003? Or have you only run it under 2003? – Matt Warren Jan 28 '12 at 16:25
  • I transferred from my win7 desktop. Do I have to start from scratch? How do I transfer the DBs that I have created? – legion Jan 28 '12 at 16:46

The RavenDB datastore uses Esent under the hood. As a result it's not portable across OS versions. I.e. if you create a store on one version of an OS, it won't necessarily work on another just by copying the files across.

You can use the RavenDB smuggler tool to import/export the data. Or do it manually.

  • @legion if this answer worked for you would you consider marking it as the accepted answer? That way it helps anyone else looking at the question. – Matt Warren Jan 29 '12 at 19:27
