Hi All, I've created a backup of alle the needed files using some simple scripts; /bin/tar cpvzf /root/backup/mysql-data.tgz /var/lib/mysql /bin/tar cpvzf /root/backup/system-files.tgz /root/ispconfig/ /home/admispconfig/ /home/www/ /var/www/ /var/lib/named/etc/bind/ /var/mail/ /etc/ mysqldump -h localhost -u root -ppassword -c --add-drop-table --add-locks --all --quick --lock-tables db_ispconfig > /root/backup/sqldump.sql I configured and installed vmware + ispconfig image (downloaded from the web) and now the migration process starts ... differences between my orginal ispconfig and the new one; - older os and packages. - different db name (db_ispconfig is used on my old system, dbispconfig on the vmware image) - in the vmware there are minor changes regarding php for example (it's wrapped) - I'm using a private ip now instead of public. NAT is used for the public > private mapping so i followed: http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showpost.php?p=16488&postcount=2 but ... i get stuck into the apache2 messages": /etc/init.d/apache2 restart Forcing reload of web server: Apache2 ... failed! You may still have some apache2 processes running. There are processes named 'apache2' which do not match your pid file, and in the name of safety, we've left them alone. Please review the situation by hand. Syntax error on line 99 of /etc/apache2/vhosts/Vhosts_ispconfig.conf: Invalid command 'php_admin_flag', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration so i followed: http://www.howtoforge.de/forums/showthread.php?p=23792 rm -f /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/php4.conf a2enmod php4 this command shows: This module does not exist! /etc/init.d/apache2 restart display's ofcourse the same error. What am i doing wrong?
If you want to migrate ISPConfig to the VM, you will have to install the exact same version of ISPConfig on both servers. I recommend to upgrade bothe servers to the latest ISPConfig version, and then migrate the ISPConfig database (it does not matter if the database has another name, you will have to migrate just the content without the tables isp_server and isp_server_ip. Then migrate the other files as described in the post you mentioned above.
It works! ISPconfig > vmware appliance Hi All, Jus to let you know that my test scenario works! What i did; I post my howto soon; backup system install vmware server download vmware ispconfig appliance upgrade to 2.2.7 restore system change some things (ip's, servername, and manual configs..)
