Hi all, We have a server that is running 3.0.3.3 that is our production server. We need to move this over to another server which currently has 3.0.4.6 on it. I decided to give it a shot by doing the following; Backed up the following on the 3.0.4.6 server: /etc/apache2 /var/www /usr/local/ispconfig mysqldump of all databases I then pulled over a bz2 backup of the www dir from the production server along with a dump of all the databases. I imported the entire mysql directory and overwrote the existing. I scp'd over the /usr/local/ispconfig directory from production and then did the same for the apache directory. The first problem I found was that scp doesn't support the symlinks, so I'll have to try that again with rsync, however, after doing all that I realized that the production server is running under CGI/FastCGI if you do a php info and the new server was running under "Apache 2.0 Handler". Seemed like when I tried to do a restart of apache it was complaining about the fcgi handler. What is the best approach to move over to the new machine? Thanks, Ken
I am not much of an expert, but wouldn't it be good to make the server a mirror of the production and then figure out what is missing? Then you can transfer as little as possible. EDIT: I found this link for you http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=41595. I hope it helps.
