IS it possible to move individual site from one server A to another server B. If found some topics on this forum saying this can be done by coping /www ,/etc/passwd etc. Export / Import db_ispconfig But this is not what i want. On server B existing sites (which don't exist a A get mixed up, different web numbering etc.) Is there a way to export (backup) a site en then to import (restore) this site on different machine ? May thanks in advance, Marcel
The best way would be to create the site on server B with ISPConfig (including all email accounts) and then copy over all web site files, databases, etc.
I can see at least one issue in this solution : if you have 3 websites www1 , www3, www4, (www2 was removed) how will you do that in the new server ? You will have to add and delete the sites as in the first server in order your users e.t.c. to match My point is that on server 1 we have domain 1 and web1_user1 and this has to match exactly to server 2. I believe that a "simple" solution that will export Everything (www, users, emails, log e.t.c) will be a very popular feature. Can someone provide such a script ? It should backup the users from shadow file, smtp configuration, http configuration e.t.c Also i tried to backup a website but the www folder is quite large? I stopped the file download but i can not find the back up file on my server ... Is it automatically deleted ? Regards, Leon
Hi again, i found out this nice post from mturillo : http://how2forge.org/forums/showthread.php?t=40323 in case of centos / fedora i have modified the script to a) include www folder and b) backup entire mysql d, not only isp_config database . Please check below and correct if i have made any mistakes on my modifications. Hope this helps someone. echo ""; echo "************************************"; echo " ISPCONFIG BACKUP"; echo "************************************"; echo ""; echo "setting paths"; ISPCONFIG=/backup/dec09 USER=root PASSWORD=mypass HOST=localhost echo "Wait a moment please..."; echo "1. Make a backup of /var/spool/mail"; /etc/init.d/postfix stop cd /var/spool tar -czf $ISPCONFIG/mail.tar.gz mail echo "2. Copy the passwd file"; cp /etc/passwd $ISPCONFIG echo "3.

Thxs Everybody much thxs for the fast replies. Reading those i've concluded that the best way to go is to make a new site on B en then copying a site from A to B (databases / users / www etc) following the instructions of Falko. Unfortunatly a lot of work in my case. So in my opinion it still would be a very nice feature to be able to import / export complete sites ;-) Another nice feature / partly repacing above one, is to be able to set webnumer while creating new site. Pe. I want www.mysite.nl to be under www/web5. Normally ispconfig take the first "free" number and filling a kind of links in the maindb with this one. Changing this afterwards of filesystemlevel won't be a ood idea because making changes to other config will cause isp to reread maindatabase and changing vhosts_ispconfig accordangly , thus messing everything up.
