Serverbreakdown (Slave Server on Multiserver Setup)

Hi!

My Server2 had a hdd crash and is part of my multiserver setup of ispconfig. My mainserver with ispconfig panel (Server1) is up & running ... just server2 is down. I've a complete hdd backup right befor the crash and wanna know:

Is it possible to reinstall & resetup Server2 with the settings from Server1?

I mean, is there a function to reinstall all data (Domains, FTP Accounts, E-Mail Accounts, MySQL Databases ...) with the "old" settings & passwords? And when this process is ready i could copy the files on the right folders and all is up & running again?

Kind regards
Marcus

Hallo!

Leider hilft das ISPConfig Handbuch bei folgendem Problem auch nicht:

Server2 (Slave von Masterserver Server1) hat einen absoluten Festplattenschaden und muss neu installiert werden. Ich habe einen aktuellen Dump der Festplatte (somit alle Daten & Backups vorhanden) und nun frage ich mich:

Wie bekomme ich diesen Server wieder so ins ISPConfig dass z.B. die E-Mail Konten wieder mit den Passwörtern eingerichtet werden die sie vor dem Ausfall des Servers hatten? Kann ich irgendwo nen Hebel umlegen und sagen "Neu anlegen" oder so? Und wie binde ich den Server wieder ins ISPConfig ein? Einfach mit denselben Daten (Hostname, IP usw.) neu installieren? Weil die Daten des Servers sind ja eigentlich schon vorhanden?

Eine Hilfe wäre sehr hilfreich, denn das Handbuch kann da leider nicht wirklich weiterhelfen

Gruß

Unfortunately I can't do a fullrestore, we think there is something wrong with the mainboard (3 Months ago one HDD broke down) so we'll switch the complete server.

Thanks for your help, server2 had mail, web & database but i get your point of asking this

Lets hope all works to plan! And thanks for your great support ... I've bought the ispconfig manual by hand and now the subscription. You're the best!

Kind regards

Hey

Just a small Update

Your tutorial worked great, just one small problem. My first attempt with the update.php failed, cause the local dbisconfig database had the wrong server_id. So ist first restored dbispconfig database and then did the update.php call. All worked fine

The system synced web/mail and i just had to copy users/db from old mysql table to new mysql table ... quick restart and all is up & running. All passwords are still correct and all customers are happy

Thanks for your great support!

 

Small Wish/Hint

I've a Multiserver Setup with 8 slaves ... It would be nice to have a server selection within the synctool. I've to wait till all 8 slaves had synced

 

Great thanks

 

Followed the instructions above, got the folowing

Need help, using latest ISPCONFIG 3.1

Thanks Rainer

 

config field of the master server can't see no damage

config of new server can see no damage

The crashed and new setup server should do mail and primary DNS
The system page on ISPCONFIG System looks OK
Monitor on ISPCONFIG shows all green
Should I try the SYSN

Rainer

 

To clarify the config is the original of the crashed server, new added record for the new server was deleted as requested above.
SQL communication should be ok, as monitor could see the running services and the server could be successfully added
Rainer

 

Yes but I found
$conf['dbmaster_user'] = 'ispcsrv5';
$conf['dbmaster_password'] = '1a8765d6ed9e0484d4e825ddccfb3b85';
may still be wrong, the new server had ID 5 the old had ID 5 so in /usr/local/ispconfig/server/lib/config.inc.php I changed it to 2, but shouldnt be the db_master_user and db.aster_password changed too.

Rainer

 

I only changed the server id till yet, as described in the 3rth post in this thread, so do I understand you right, I have to change user and password as well, as I asumed. From where do I get the old password.

Thank you

Rainer

 

Username and password are working , so we are at the old problem, updates stops
