I'm trying to at least migrate the e-mail configuration from an old server to a new one. New config: Ubuntu 12.04 x64 ISPConfig 3.0.5.2 Old Server: Ubuntu 10.04 x64 ISPConfig 3.0.3.3 I'm using the Tools>Import>ISPConfig 3 mail It keeps saying eigther can't connect or login failed. Also, I signed up for membership. I'm sorry I haven't been contributing more to the project.
Ahh you were right... was just trying to use the admin user. So now the problem is that the only thing imported was the domain name and settings that's it. No e-mail mailboxes or anything else.
Under the remote user you created on the old server did you tick the check boxes for items you want to be able to export from old server to new server ? This is the list: Server functions Client functions Domaintool functions Mail domain functions Mail domain alias functions Mail mailinglist functions Mail user functions Mail alias functions Mail forward functions Mail catchall functions Mail transport functions Mail whitelist functions Mail blacklist functions Mail spamfilter user functions Mail spamfilter policy functions Mail fetchmail functions Mail spamfilter whitelist functions Mail spamfilter blacklist functions Mail user filter functions Mail filter functions Sites cron functions Sites database functions Sites Protected folder functions Sites FTP-User functions Sites Shell-User functions Sites Domain functions Sites Aliasdomain functions Sites Subdomain functions DNS zone functions DNS a functions DNS aaaa functions DNS alias functions DNS cname functions DNS hinfo functions DNS mx functions DNS ns functions DNS ptr functions DNS rp functions DNS srv functions DNS txt functions OpenVZ VM functions
yes I remember thinking why there wasn't just a select all function. I went through and clicked each one. Is there a conflict between versions possibly?
Yes, thats possible. You should consider to update the old system before you run the import as it assumes that you have the same data structure in old and new server and the data structures can change between ispconfig major releases.
Is there any chance of breaking the system doing the upgrade? Is there a special method for the version I have?
There is always the possibility to break something during a update, but that normally does not happen. I recommend to install available update regularily. You should make a backup of /etc/, /usr/local/ispconfig and the dbispconfig database bafore the update so you can roll back the old install in case of a failure. As you missed to install many updates on the old server, I recommend to install the 3.0.4.6 update first and then the 3.0.5.2 update.
Import Email Configuration Error When I go to import the email configuration from the older server to the new one I get two errors: invalid userid invalid groupid I can find no reference as to which userid and groupid is invalid. Also none of the logs reflect this error. Any help? P.S. I have both servers running the same version of Ispconfig. I have checked all the boxes on the remote user of the older server. However older server running apache, newer server running nginx. I can find no major userid or groupid differences in the passwd and group files. Doug
Import Email Configuration Error - Resolved Found the issue. Even though I dont use it on the older server, a client must exist on the newer sever to import email configurations. Doug
Is this tool appropriate for importing from 3.0.5.2 to 3.1.1p1? I have the 3.1 manual; however, it says little about the tool.
