Migrating web sites to new server

Hello all,
just got a new Mac Mini Server edition with the latest Snow Leopard etc. I am migrating all my various sites from the old server which was just running standard Leopard. I am having a hard time finding where everything goes. If anyone can point me to some good tutorials on setting of web hosting using Snow Leopard I'd really appreciate it.
For example, we use the server for local testing only, not public serving so on the old server we'd just go to http://192.168.1.5/sitename and that worked great. So where the heck is htdocs located on Server? Most of are sites are PHP/MySQL stuff like Wordpress and Joomla etc. So I'm guessing I'll need to enabled PHP 5 and MySQL and all that. I've got a few good tutorials bookmarked for that, but if anyone has a great Server specific one, let me know. I'll be porting everything using phpMyAdmin.
Looking at the help info for the Web Server Preferences, it says adding sites is for static HTML sites of which I have basically none.
I'm going through the Server booklet that came with the Mini, but I could really use some tips on where to put things like our shared project folders etc. I'm new to this server configuration stuff. Thanks a ton for any tips!

I am trying to do the same thing. I have an old Leopard server that has some internal websites on it. I am planning to migrate them over to a new Snow Leopard server this summer. I am just now starting to play with it. I wave been able to successfully move over wikis, but am having trouble with the user blogs.
To move the wikis, I found them in /Library/Collaborarion/Groups. Each wiki was listed as a separate directory. I moved the contents of the groups folder over to the new server in the same directory, and changed the permissions to those directories to match what they should be. To do this, I went into Server Admin and file sharing and browsed to the Groups folder (no further in) and propogated the permissions (owner and group names) down to the contents of the Group folder fo that each user and group was _teamserver. Shop and restart web server and the wikis were back.
I tried to do the same for the users, but that does not seem to work. Still trying some things there. I did not do any of the things that power mac suggested with php or mysql.
Hopefully, this works for you. I will try to post if I can figure out the user blogs. I would have thought they would have worked the same way as the wikis, but they were in the users folder instead of the groups folder. They are all listed there in the finder, but they do not show up in the web interface when I list the user websites in snow leopard.

    Thanks for your quick response.
    Is it possible something like in oracle (pardon as i am oracle DBA not sql server guy), 
    (Oracle Steps to migrate standby(mirror) db to new server)
    1. Pause replication on primary(principal) 
    2. Move standby(mirror) database files to new server(using copy/rman/etc).
    3. Update connection information (TNS in oracle) on primary(principal) to point new server.
    4. Start replication on primary(principal).
    the above steps will simply migrate the standby(mirror) database to new server,
    can we do something like above in sql server?

  • Scale out sharepoint server search to index server and Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Web Application to new server

    Hi
    in my single server these below service are running:
    SharePoint Server Search 
    User Profile Service 
    Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Web Application
    here how i scale out  Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Web Application  to another server
    and  SharePoint Server Search  to new index server.
    adil

    Check here to see how to add servers to the farm:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc261752(v=office.15).aspx
    What Inderjeet meant was that if you chose to install SharePoint as a single server instead of a complete farm, you won't be able to add servers to the farm at a later time. You can check if this is the case by checking the registry key he mentioned. If
    that is indeed the case, there's nothing to it but reinstall the farm.
    So that is why you never should choose the single server option, it locks you in and limits future options, while choosing to install sharepoint as a complete farm it's still perfectly acceptable to host it on a single server.

  • Migrating Reporting Services to new Server - Subscriptions are not transfering

    Hello,
    I have an instance of SQL Server 2008R2 running on Windows Server 2008.  It is setup to be a reporting server.  There are many subscriptions that are scheduled and run on this server.  We are wanting to move to Windows Server 2012 and SQL Server
    2012.  So, we have built out a new VM and I have exported from the current server the ReportServer and ReportServerTempDB and have imported them to the new server.  I have resolved the one Orphaned user that happened and went to look for the subscriptions
    so that I could disable them so they wouldn't run.  I could not find any.
    select * from msdb.dbo.sysjobs where enabled = 1 and category_id = 100.
    no rows...
    I had read from other posts to let it sit for a few days and they will appear.  I have waited 2 weeks.
    So, what am I missing?  I would prefer to do a clean install and migrate the data over rather than upgrading the OS and SQL.
    Thanks

    Hi Sql Dude,
    Per my undersranding that you can't find any informamation related to the subscription in the sydjobs table after migration, right?
    You issue can be caused by many factors.Please check details information below:
    Please check if you can see all the subscription in the report manager and can create new subscriptions. The ReportServer database used by SSRS to store the subscriptions maintains a record of the subscription owner (as well as audit fields) which track
    the user accounts that have created/modified the subscriptions. 
    If you can't see subscription on the report manager and can create new subscriptions, the issue can be caused by "My subscriptions" had been created on the original non-domain server(Local User account).  Therefore, once the instance was migrated
    to a new server on the domain, said Local User was no longer available.  Every user with access to the ReportServer database has an entry created in the Users table and a unique GUID generated.
    To work around the issue, you can do a SQL Update query to changed the OwnerID and ModifiedByID fields on the Subscriptions table to relate to the GUID of the equivalent user on the domain.Tip:
    Change the Owner of SQL Reporting Services Subscription
    If you can see all the subsription on the report manager but can't find any job, please try to edit and update the subscription to see if it will recreate the job again and please also try to provide more details information in the log file to see if you
    got some error message, the path like:
    C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS11.SQLEXPRESS\Reporting Services\LogFiles
    If above didn't help, please reference to the similar thread below:
    Can't access SSRS 2008 R2 subscriptions after migration
    If you still have any problem, please feel free to ask.

  • Problem publishing my iWeb site to new server

    I have a problem publishing my site to a new server HostGator.
    I click publish, everything continues normally, then I get an ERROR notice:
    Publish Error
    There was an error communicating with the FTP server.
    Try again later, or check with your service provider                  
    Since I changed the settings for the new server all the iWeb pages symbols go pink every time I close and reopen iWeb.  Once I have tried to publish and get the ERROR notice I see that most of the pages have turned blue (suggesting they have been correctly published) and the same 5 pages remain pink (suggesting they have not been published)   I have used the HostGator link
    http://gator694.hostgator.com/~carouge1/carouge-art/Welcome.html
    to look at the uploaded pages.
    All the pages are on their server file BUT the pages which remain pink on iWeb have problems. These problems (missing photos etc.) don't seem to affect the pages when the site is called up normally. The site is apparently still being uploaded to people’s computers through MobileMe eventhough I have changed the server settings! So I’m assuming the page problems will show up after MobileMe stops at the end of this month?  I cannot find an explanation for the failed pages from HostGator or from the Apple online answers.
    Grateful for any advice.

    I am having a similar problem trying to upload from iWeb through FTP to MacHighway web hosting.
    I am using iWeb 3.0.4, the latest version.
    I have followed the instructions on the MacHighway site: https://customers.machighway.com/knowledgebase.php?action=displayarticle&id=10
    When I type "public_html" into Directory/Path window in iWeb I get the following message:
    Testing failed.
    The directory/path couldn't be found.  Verify your settings and try again.  
    When I type "/public_html" or /public_html/" into Directory/Path window in iWeb I get the following message:
    Testing failed.
    A connection to mel.machighway.com couldn't be established.  Verify your settings and try again.
    Unlike carougeart, however, nothing gets uploaded.

  • Retrieving uploaded web site to new iWeb 08

    I recently did a clean install of my iBook G4 (for various reasons). I now have Leopard on both eMac and iBook. Before I did this I backed (using Backup) up my iLife 06 folder to .Mac. I have reinstalled iLife 06 and on my iBook and recently purchased iLife 08 for my eMac.
    But, how do I get my web site back for editing? I've tried several ways on both computers with no luck. I want to redo the site anyway but would like to be able to use parts of the old site in the new site. The old site is still posted and working fine at .Mac.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. The file you needed to backup was the domain.sites2 file that resides in your User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder. If you don't have a copy of that file you'll need to reconstruct your site from scratch. iWeb cannot read or import html files, only create them.
    This site has some tips in 2.3 on how you can use some of the file in the published site to rebuild the site: http://iwebfaq.org/site/iWebBackupretrieve.html

  • Migrating IR Reporting to new server

    We are moving from an old production Workspace server to a new one. It will be the same version of Hyperion (11.1.2.1) and have the same name - this is simply a Hardware upgrade. The problem is that there will also be a new repository database server. Is there a way to migrate the repository from the old server to the new one?
    The issue is this: We have lots of users that have saved Interactive Reports (IR), and if the reports won't run after the migration, there will be a great wailing and gnashing of teeth from our user community. Joking aside, we would very much like to avoid this. We are told that LCM is the proper methodology for migrating - will it also preserve the repository entries so saved IR reports will continue working? If not, what can we do?
    thanks,
    -pat

    LCM is the best way to migrate from environments or even between apps on the same environment. So you shold be fine to:
    1. create LCM
    2. install new server, hyperion software,
    3. restore via LCM
    The only issue I could see coming up relates to the ip address which would be different from old to new server, which is why LCM should get around that.
    *I haven't used LCM for IR reports specifically, but all for other workspace items:  FR, WA reports and user settings are migrated if you chose to do so.
    Here are a couple of useful links:

  • Migrate Wiki Content to New Server

    So here it is. Our old G5 server is going on us. I decide I want to migrate all of our DNS and Wiki content to a new Server. Everything works except wiki. I will expand:
    I have Open Directory running with all of the same Groups and Users. All of the ID# are the same.
    I have tried backing up the Wiki Content using "sudo ditto" to my Public folder on the old server and "sudo ditto" into the /Library/Collaboration folder on the new server. No luck. I get Permission Denied
    I tried copying all of the folders plainly with cp and then fixing the ownership with chown after copying them into the Collaboration folder on the new server. no luck.
    Usually with the first attempt I could get user blogs to appear but not wiki's. I've tried allowing the server to create the wiki and then ditto the content into the folders it creates in Collaboration. No luck.
    I have scoured the KB for 3 days now and thought I might try asking.
    Any suggestions?

    So my latest attempt I think is close. I was able to migrate all of the documents from my old server so I know the content is there and the permissions are now correct. _teamsserver is the ONLY one with Read& Write. No one else has any access.
    Now I just need to make the content show up in the wiki. This is really for only 3 groups as this wiki has not been running long. But as I said, the User Blogs are appearing just fine even with all of my custom formatting on 2 of the blogs. Very strange...

  • Migrating Wiki Content to New Server

    Hello - I need to re-partition/re-install my OSX 10.5 Server for a variety of reasons. Since I haven't fully gone into production, most of the data is throw-away. However, we do have about 30 wiki pages that I'd like to migrate to the new install.
    I'm hoping that the process is as simple as taking a copy of the
    Library/Collaboration/Groups/[wikiname]
    folder, and then dropping it on to the new server. Can anyone confirm that this is the process? Are there any other configuration files to be modified such that the content becomes re-integrated?
    Thanks in advance for any help...

  • Migrating MySQL database to new server

    I'm rebuilding a server for a client and I need to migrate the MySQL database off of the old server onto the new. I'm going from Server 10.5.4 to Server 10.5.4. I tried just taring the old database location at /var/mysql and untaring it to the new server at the same location and started the MySQL service, but it service won't start properly.
    I get an error in the MySQL Admin Log file that says that the "MySQL daemon startup timed-out"
    After looking at the database files, they appear to have the old server name included in their names, and there is a pid file that is specific to the server.
    Is there a process for exporting/importing the MySQL databases so I can get them installed on the new server?
    Thanks.

    So I'll reply to my own question so the answer is documented.
    I used the following command it export all the database from the old server:
    mysqldump -u username -ppassword --all-databases > alldump.sql
    username is the name of the admin user, usually root
    password is the admin password, make sure there is no space between the -p and the password. So if the password is "twit" the option is -ptwit
    And the two -- are needed in the --all-databases option
    Copy the alldump.sql file to the new server and run the following command to import all the databases:
    mysql -u username -ppassword < alldump.sql
    Be sure to set the admin password in Server Admin and start the MySQL service before importing.
    That's it.

  • Migrating Apps 11i to new server

    Hi Guys,
    I have recently been appointed as the DBA at a site that ran Apps 11i for more than a year, without as much as a patch update. Suddenly they needed clones, and all sorts of things to happen. Instead of taking a 3 month patch by patch process, does someone have a methodology, if I build a new server from scratch, install SuSE Linux 9, then a blank 9i DB, and the new patched application layer on top of that, can I "clone" the current system to a new server, data only - is there a white paper / methodology around I can use?
    Tx
    Willis

    I beleive in your case you can easily make the clone by applying the rapid clone patch on your 11.5.9 instance. Check the metalink note Note:230672.1. Since you are on 11.5.9 and autoconfig enabled there won't be much complication.
    we had a similar kind of situation with one our client. Their hard disks crashed and don't have backup of application tier. What they have is database backup.
    What we did is :
    -Made a fresh installation of apps withe same instance name and paths
    -backedup the new database to different path
    -Restored the old database of crashed instance from backup and got the llist of all patches applied previously
    - Remove the restored database.
    -again restored the fresh database backedup
    -Applied all the patches
    - Restored the old database of crashed instance from backup
    - Did all customization and workarounds

  • Move/migrate ZFD to a new server

    Using ZFD with the Sybase SQL Anywhere database. AWI, Inventory are the only processes (other than Sybase of course) that we need running.
    The rest is "pure" eDir I believe (NAL, Remote Control)
    The issue is that I need to move/migrate the ZFD 7 stuff from NetWare to OES2 SP2 Linux, but I cannot use the Identity transfer option
    I THINK I can basically install the ZFD code onto the OES2 server, mount or copy the data on the NSS volume on NetWare to the data on OES2 server, and then edit the eDir objects to use the correct paths/IP?
    Or am I wrong in thinking that.
    ZCM is not an option at this point yet (due to a few bugs and some other logistical issues).
    Oh, I don't care too much if I have to redo the Sybase databases from scratch. And I will also change the DNS for ZENWSIMPORT appropriately.

    If you are on OES2 SP2 also apply the IR4a HP3 (NOVELL: Downloads - ZENworks 7 Desktop Management on Linux Support Pack 1 Interim Release 4a Hot Patch 3)
    Then configure a new ZenWorks Server policy so the settings are as you want em, move the DNS pointer to the new server, reconfigure PDHCP and your User/Workstation policies to reflect new paths where applicable.
    That should cover most points... ZDM is quite easy to move about.

  • Move site to new server

    I've just moved a client's site to a new server. I'm sure I
    copied all the files over including the notes folders etc.
    After updating his ftp login info in Contribute, my client
    reports he can connect tothe site OK, but that Contribute is
    telling him that file(s) are not found.
    I am unsure how to resolve this issue. Are there particular
    files, like hidden files, that may not have gotten copied to the
    new server?
    If I cannot resolve this, would it be advisable to delete
    that site conneciton in Contribute and set up a new site. If so, do
    I need to go through the site and cancel the files Contribute
    stores on the server, and if so, which ones?
    He's using Contribute 3 on an XP box, he is set up as admin I
    think. I do not administer the site with Contribute, I use
    Dreamweaver.MX 2004.
    Also, if its relevant the existing html site files were
    modified in Dreamweaver during the transfer to the new server (just
    link changes and such).
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    If your client is the admin then the chances of them od
    adjusting the administration settings in Contribute is slim so....
    In an ftp program ( not dreamwearver as it hides it) delete
    the _notes folder off the server.
    Then get your client in the edit menu of Contribute go to "my
    connections" pick the one that is accociated with the site and
    delete it.
    Then make a new connection in Contribute and set the site up
    again. ie name ftp details etc...
    this is the quickest and easiest way to get them up and
    running again.
    If they still have trouble connecting to the pages sometime
    the options in the "Advanced" button next the the ftp settings can
    help.

  • Migrate SCCM 2012 to new server

    I need to migrate our SCCM 2012 installation to a new server. Both the old and new servers will be up concurrently if necessary. What steps do I need to take to do this?
    Also, I want to upgrade to SP1 at the same time. Can I install SP1 on the new box alongside my current RTM install and do the migration or do I have to do the upgrade as a completely separate step after migration is complete?
    Thanks.

    Backup ConfigMgr on the old server (using the built-in maintenance task or a SQL backup; keep in mind to backup ContentLib, sources for applications, drivers, wim files etc!). Shut down server. Install new server (same name + domain + partition layout).
    Install ConfigMgr. Restore ConfigMgr backup. I don't know if it's supported to change the SP level at the same time. I would not recommend changing too much things simultaneously though.
