I-MSCP migration from old server to a new one.

imscp_migration

#Migrate i-mscp to a new server 
#the new imscp is already installed and does have a different IP than the old one

#1. Dump the DB and copy the i-MSCP backup to new server:
rsync -rave "ssh -l root" /var/www/imscp/backups 10.0.0.3:/var/tmp/imscp_old_backups

#2.Install the old config DB

#3. Copy all customer data:
rsync -rave "ssh -l root " /var/www/virtual/ 10.0.0.3:/var/www/virtual
rsync -rave "ssh -l root " /var/mail/virtual/ 10.0.0.3:/var/mail/virtual

#4. Copy all cusomer DB's 
(use phpmyadmin or mysqldump to move customers db's) 


#5. Remove all unix user related fields into the admin table before re-running the installer (on new server) 
#-  Edit your /etc/passwd file and remove any vuXXXX user
#-  Edit your /etc/group file and remove any vuXXXX group
#-  Edit your /etc/shadow file and remove any vuXXXX user

#Execute the following SQL queries:
# mysql -u root -p<password>
use imscp;  #your imscp config 
update domain set domain_status = 'ok';
update subdomain set subdomain_status = 'ok';
update domain_aliasses set alias_status  = 'ok';
update subdomain_alias set subdomain_alias_status = 'ok';
update mail_users set status = 'ok';
update admin set admin_status = 'ok', admin_sys_name = null, admin_sys_uid = 0, admin_sys_gname = null, admin_sys_gid = 0;

#5. Run again the setup script:   
perl /var/www/imscp/engine/setup/imscp-setup -d 


#6. If you need to change the default IP address run: 
perl /var/www/imscp/engine/setup/imscp-setup --reconfigure ips

#if it happens that you can not delete the old IP address, check the IP's used by reseller. 

# Anything else ????? 

Thank you. Will try. Would be nice to have a rsync doing the copying between the servers.

From 1.3.x this script will no longer function, because you can not longer use the mysql root.
A seperate user is created, so this script will have to be altered, by using mysqldump -u imscp_user -p $pass
