    Hello;

    Is it possible to migrate a ispconfig domain (dns zone, maildirs, website, databases) from one server to other (both running ispconfig) without changing passwords (of mail users, ftp ...)?

    I guessed that i need to copy the appropriate lines from :

    Code:
    /etc/passwd 
    /etc/group
    /etc/shadow
    
    Am I right ?

    Thanks for advance;
    Best regards.

    It is possible but not really easy, as the username prefix most likely will not match. If ythe username prefix for the users is the same (same web id), then you have to create the users in ispconfig first, the passwords do not matter and then replace the lines for theses users in /etc/shadow. Copying just the lines will not work as ispconfig will not be aware that these users exist.
