Re: How to move egroupware to a new server?

Chris,

        That's the way I do it and I've never had any problems. When I need to move
machines, I just:

mysqldump --databases egroupware -u root -p > egroupware.sql

scp egroupware.sql newmachine:~/

        Then on the new machine (make sure you have set up the mysql default tables,
and secured the root account, etc..):

mysql -u root -p < egroupware.sql

mysql -u root -p
GRANT ALL ON egroupware.* TO 'egwuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'some_pass';

        Then Create the directories where egw will store its files and backups and
make sure your web server has write permission. I use (on the new machine):

rsync -av oldmachine:/var/lib/egroupware /var/lib

***NOTE: NO trailing slash after egroupware in the line above. Also, you will
need to give yourself read permission under the user your running rsync as on
the old machine.

        Then just: www.yourdomain.com/egroupware/setup
