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.

Some things that helped us.
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.

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.

Best way to move WFE to new server

We have one web front end server and one sql server. I want to simply move the existing web frotn end server to new hardware. What is the easiest way to do this? Also, the last admin did not patch the existing site to SP2. If I
install Sharepoint 2007 sp2 and attach it to databases that are on the original Sharepoint 2007 RTM version, will it upgrade the database schema or will this cause problems? We only have on site colelction with about 13 GB of data, its not a complicated
environment but there is a lot of data there. I want to do this as simply as possible, thanks.

The basic three steps that need to followed while moving to new hardware are.
Set up the new server farm
Make sure the versions of database are the same in this step.
Move the databases to the new server farm
Since you don't have many webapplications, in fact just one, you could do an stsadm backup of the web application and restore it on the new web app. And then Apply SP2 along with all the other cumulative updates.
You will have two farms running at the same time at this point providing redundancy.
Shut down the old server farm
That is probably the best approach I would prefer. You can always read the following technet article..

Hope this helps.
Thanks

Move database to new server from ASM to FS

Hey, I have to move my database from ASM to filesystem storge (10.2.0.3 on sles 10 sp1)
The new server is also sles 10 sp1.
Can I just do an full export on the source site, and an import on the target site ? Will that work ?
Any other steps to perform ?
Chris

Hi,
1. Export db wlth FULL=Y . and then we have to create new database at target location and then import operation have to done.
2.we can take rman backup, restore rman backup in target location. This method will reduce the complexity
take backup through Rman.
Target location:-
1. export ORACLE_SID=xxx
2. rman target /
3. startup nomount
4.RMAN> RESTORE CONTROLFILE FROM 'backup piece';
5.RMAN> alter database mount;
6.
set newname for datafile '+DG/datafile.dbf' to 'FS/location';(do for all datafiles)
restore database;
switch datafile all;}
7. alter database rename file '+DG/datafile.dbf' to 'FS/location';(do for all datafiles)
8.alter database open;
follow these steps from ASM TO FS.

Move DB to new server - Oracle Linux 4 old, Oracle Linux 5 on New

We are planning on moving our Datawarehouse db to a new server.
The old server has Oracle Enterprise Linux 4 and our server admin, using her infinite wisdom and after we agreed to keep the O/S the same - installed Oracle Linux 5.
I was planning on installing the oracle_home, etc. all with the exact same names, the mount points would be the same so in theory, just start the db on the new server.
Now that its a different version of the O/S - will it work?
Has anyone tried this before?
I will be trying with a small test DB but don't want to run into any gotchas when I try to "move" the 2.5t datawarehouse db.
Thanks.

Its certified, db version 10.2.0.4 but just about everything I've read via google etc. says if the db thinks the O/S is different, you have to use either exp/imp, datapump or tablespace move from one db to the other (really a copy and we don't have the disk space).
Thanks.

Move appset to new server and new version

Hi
I am currently on 5.1, SQL 2005 and Windows 2003, where we have some performance issues. To see the effekt of an upgrade I would like to move my current appset to a new server with BPC 7.5 SQL 2008 and Windows 2008.
How should I do this?
Can I make a clean installaion of BPC 7.5 on SQL 2008 and then restore the 5.1 version appset into 7.5.
What is the recommended way to do this.

Hi,
There is nothing to worry.
You need to take the backup from the 5.1 system and restore it in 7.5 MS. After the restoration, please make sure that all the components are working fine or not. You might have to look at the security once again and the reports and the input schedules. There might be small small alterations / modifications required. However, there wont be any big development. There is only one area which needs little more concentration - SSIS packages. You might have to re-build the SSIS packages in SQL 2008. Another thing is that if you have any macros or VB in your templates, you might have to revisit them.
As a whole, I dont see much challenge in this whole process.
Hope this helps.

Move libary to new server

We are upgrading H/W at the moment. I want to move my GW server to a
new GW server - both NW 65.
The new server will not have the same name as the old server. How is

The attachments folder is changed in SBO, and all the files in the
old attachment folder are moved to the new place. The existing
attachments in SBO(in Activities, Alert, Service Contract etc. ) still
have the old path, and it is requested to update them to the new one.

Move gridcontrol to new server

hey,
i have a new server and has the same path names en os are the same.
i have to move my gridcontrol to the new server what are the step to do ore is there a simple movement because the os and path name are the same.
Message was edited by:
sham

I would do the following:
- reinstall grid control on the new host
- backup repository database from old host
- stop grid control on the new host
- restore repository database to new host
- start grid control on new host
I don´t think that there is a supported way of moving the OMS to a new host. However if the new host has the same hostname and the same ip, same os patchlevel, etc. it could work. But as soon as the hostname is different, manually moving and replacing all the references to the old hostname is not recommended.

Break cluster and move databases to new server

Hello everyone. I have a question that may be basic but I am by no means a SQL person. Right now we have a SQL 2005 cluster running on VM ESXi with a celerra backend storage. Some drives are mapped Raw. We recently put in a new
VNX and we are not able to migrate the SQL server over due to how the drives are mapped. I am thinking that I want to build a new SQL server and move the databases. The new build will not be a cluster since we have point in time recovery manager
from EMC. Now my thinking is, can I break the cluster, move the 2nd node to the new ESXi and storage and present new storage or would it be best to just build a new server? Is it easy enough to change an instance name after SQL is running?
Several applications refer to the SQL Cluster and they are critical so I need something with least amount of downtime. Would doing backup of all of SQL and then a restore to the new system be best? Any thoughts or direction? Thanks
Joe M

The most straightforward and reliable method is to build a new server, migrate the databases using backup/restore, test the new server, and cut-over by shutting down the old servers and either reconfiguring the client applications or renaming the new server
to have the same network name as the old server's SQL Cluster Client Access point.
You can also use DNS redirection instead of renaming the new server, although using a DNS hostname alias for your server requires some additional security configuration. EG

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.

Move ZDM to new server

I am planning a migration NW 6.5 -> OES Linux by way of transfer ID and trying to figure out what to do with Zenworks. I have ZCM set up in testing and desperately hope that 10.2.2 will fix problems like slow login, but need to be prepared to keep ZDM 6.5 going if I have to. If I install ZDM on a new NW 6.5 server with a new name and IP, do I need to make this a replica server? I know I'll need to have zwsimport on the clients point to the new server. What would I need to do to make applications remain available? All paths to applications will remain the same after the oes migration. Any other gotchas I should be aware of? Thanks.

Use unused server as share point server after move databases to new server

HI,
we have a single server share point farm (ServerApp01) for Intranet and it connects to a SQL SERVER 2008 R2 database server (Server02),
and now we moved all sharepoint databases and content dbs to new sql server in different server (ServerSQLNew).
using sqlalias we point to new SQLSERVER 2012 Instance in this new server.
- now the old sql server (Server02), is not in the sharepoint farm
- now can i add this server in intranet farm and use this old server (Server02) as wfe server ?
here my doubt is when i open cliconfg.exe i saw that sharepoint server pointing to this old server name (Server02),
after i will join this server to existing farm is any issues?
adil

hi
i already turned off sql server instance in old sql server in my case in Server02.
In share
point Server (ServerApp01) i opened cliconfg.exe and add sqlaliases to point to new sql server.
If i rename server02 server or rebuild
the server with a clean OS install still Sharepoint Farm works right?
below is the scenario of sqlalias in sharepointserver (serverapp01)

How to move CPS to new server?

Can anyone provide any guidance on migrating a current CPS installation to a new server? I tried doing a new install, copying over directory structure, and renaming the server, but that was a disaster. I have reverted, but I really need some help on figuring out how to migrate to a new server while keeping all the roles, users, and settings.
