Hi, I know with windows 10 you cant just take your hard drive and put it in a completely new PC with different hardware, it wont boot. you would need to reinstall a fresh windows copy. If i want to transfer my hard drive of ispconfig3 to a completely new server with new hardware, can it be done or do i need to install everything fresh and start from the beginning? thank you Ben
Basically you can just put the drives into a new server. One issue might be if the new server only supports uefi and you use grub or vice-versa. Apart from that, the rest should just work.
Hi, thats depend in a OS level, nothing to do with ispconfig, in your place i just would do a fresh OS install and then copy the ispconfig files / db . I did it many time without problems.
or just try to run the harddisk.. if it runs it's good... if there's uefi or so required, do as gral says... before turning off the old server make a backup of ispc
what are the files that i need to copy and where is the database file to copy as well? i am on centos 7 using ispconfig 3. thanks
mmm..... for the db you will need use, mysqldump tool.... and for sure you are going to need copy the files into /usr/local/ispconfig dir , once you did it, also you will need adjust your mysql login details into the conf files.. is not a complicated task but you should know some ispconfig working internals.
