Migrating i-MSCP 1.2.5 to a new server

Hello,

after i have update my old server to i-mscp 1.2.5 i would migrate to a new server.

I've copy the /var/www/imscp, /var/www/virtual, /etc/imscp, /var/mail to the new server. Dump the mysql database and restore at the new server

After this i start perl ./imscp-autoinstall -f and after the error with -r

The setup Dialog has the folling error:

Is there a way to ignore (disable) this Domain at the setup?

Thanks and regards
Detlev

Disabling that domain will not solve your problem. Here the problem is that the virtual user doesn't exists on the new server. Thus, you must force it creation. Below, you'll find the procedure to follow:

1. Remove any i-MSCP virtual user (vu****) from the /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow and /etc/group files
2. Execute the following SQL queries:

SQL

1. # mysql -u root -p<your_password>
2. > use imscp;
3. > UPDATE admin SET admin_status = 'ok';
4. > UPDATE domain SET domain_status = 'ok';
5. > UPDATE subdomain SET subdomain_status = 'ok';
6. > UPDATE domain_aliasses SET alias_status = 'ok';
7. > UPDATE subdomain_alias SET subdomain_alias_status = 'ok';
8. > UPDATE mail_users SET status = 'ok';
9. > UPDATE admin SET admin_sys_name = null, admin_sys_uid = 0, admin_sys_gname = null, admin_sys_gid = 0;

3. Rerun the i-MSCP installer (perl imscp-autoinstall -d)

thanks for this fast answer. I've do this and the setup runs without any error.

Change the setup-script automaticle the new ip-addresse for the new server, or must i change this in the database?

Many thanks Nuxwin. Fantastic...it's run. You make a great Job.
