Migration of contents from One Liferay portal to another

Question

I have some pages, webcontents, communities etc. in a liferay portal whose version is 6.0.5 Now I want to migrate these contents to another liferay portal whose version is 6.1.0 I tried these by using the below method

Create a lar file using Export method in the liferay 6.0.5 Import that lar file in the liferay verson 6.1.0

But its giving the below error:

ERROR [ImportLayoutsAction:85] com.liferay.portal.LayoutImportException: LAR build number 6005 does not match portal build number 6100
com.liferay.portal.LayoutImportException: LAR build number 6005 does not match portal build number 6100
    at com.liferay.portal.lar.LayoutImporter.doImportLayouts(LayoutImporter.java:325)
    at com.liferay.portal.lar.LayoutImporter.importLayouts(LayoutImporter.java:140)
    at com.liferay.portal.service.impl.LayoutLocalServiceImpl.importLayouts(LayoutLocalServiceImpl.java:1369)

Probably its because of the liferay version mismatch. I also changed the manifest.xml in the lar file from build-number="6005" to build-number="6100". But its still not working. Any help would be highly appreciated.

Please note that I am not trying to update the liferay version, I am migrating the contents from one liferay portal (version 6.0.5 to another version 6.1.0)

The best way to do this is: 1) migrate your actual liferay on a tird server 2) Export/import your LAR — grandv22
@Biswajit What about users? how can we migrate it to 6.1 to 6.2? — Akash

You may want to try 1) change manifest.xml file from the LAR file as described here, OR 2) upgrade your Liferay 6.0.5 to 6.1.0 using Liferay's standard upgrade process as explained here.
