Our business website [URL] .... needs to switch hosts and I am researching exactly what I will need to keep in mind for doing so.
Current host: hostonfiber.com (managed)
Migrating to: GoDaddy (managed, Dedicated linux based server)
OS: Linux CentOS 64-BitCPU: Intel® Core™ i5 - 4 coresRAM: 8 GBStorage: 2 x 1 TB hard drivesBandwidth: 10 TB per month
I have never switched servers before and would like to make certain there are no issues or downtime with the migration process.
Before I get started I am looking to compile a comprehensive checklist or order of operations so to speak, things I will need to keep in mind, technical info I will need to gather and processes I will need to fulfill in order to make certain the website functions as it should for all applications.
I have a client who will be pointing their domain to my reseller server. I have already setup the account on my server and made the appropriate DNS changes with their domain registrar - so the domain should be pointing to my server soon.
However, what is the normal procedure for migrating email accounts, without loosing mail?
When should they change email account settings?
Should they use their current settings until they get an error, or no longer receive mail, then change settings to match my server?
I'm not sure if i posted this in the right place - but couldn't find a better place. Here is my problem.
I am converting my current site [URL] ... from one software to another. I am testing it on a temporary domain name [URL] .....
Once i finish testing i want to move the .co site to the .com site and i don't know the best way to do this.
An obvious way would be to move all of the files and databases to the .com site after first deleting all of the files at the .com site. I would also have to do a few tweaks to the software to make sure it's pointing to the .com and not .co where iI tested.
but this method seems clunky.
Is there a way to just point the .com to the .co when I'm ready to 'move' and therefore nothing would actually get 'moved'?? both the .com and .co are on the same VPS.
I am in the process (or my server manager is) of migrating my server from one provider to another. Once all the files have been migrated and everything is "set" on the new server, what do I need to do with respect to the name servers? I currently have 2 name servers NS1.Mymainwebsite.com and NS2.Mymainwebsite.com. Each registered with an IP address from my current server host. Once I migrate, do I only need to re-register the name servers under my main website with their new IPs? Or does every person with a web site domain on my server need to "re-register" the IP address of the name servers.
I'm currently running various sites on a single server but cause the requirements are no longer satisfied by the current configuration i started renting a more powerful server in a different provider. Both servers are running CPANEL/WHM. I have migrated sites from WHM servers before but the problem i had was having to update all domains to point to the dns servers of the new server - which is harder than it sounds when the sites (and domains) belong to clients. Is is possible to move to the new server without having to update the domain registrars?
I'm trying to configure a host to use vhosts but the server keeps breaking when I uncomment the Include vhosts file line. The apache process starts but none of the hostnames work. When the line is commented out, only the main hostname (defined in httpd.conf) works.
We are thinking of upgrading servers soon and had bad experience in the past while migrating servers. Are there any professional companies out there that can do the job ?
I have a dedicated server which I need to migrate all sites to a reseller account on a different host. It comes down to 6 sites that I must not lose any emails.
On the source server, I have full access to it. It's CentOS, WHM, cPanel, etc. On the destination reseller account (downtownhost), I have access to WHM, and individual cPanel. But I can't see any transfer or restore options on the WHM, though on the individual cPanel account, I see a restore option which states:
Quote:
This feature allows you to restore parts of your cPanel by uploading your partial backup zip file(s) that you downloaded from the backup feature.
The following can be restored:
* Home Directory * MySQL Databases * Email forwarders configuration * Email filters configuration
My plan is so far:
1) Generate a full backup for each site on the source server.
2) Create the accounts on the destination reseller account. (Is it possible before I update the IP of the nameserver to point to the new server?)
3) Restore the sites with this wizard I mentioned above in each cPanel.
4) Change the nameserver host IP to the new server.
5) Hold my fingers and bless every living creature for a smooth move.
if I could do this any better, trying not to lose any emails in the process.
I have a new Server (CentOS Linux 7.1.1503) and will migrate the Data from my old Server (Ubuntu 14.04 LTS) with the Migration Manager. Both Servers running with Plesk 12.0.18
After i entered the Server-IP and the Login-Data for the old Server i became this Error on the new Server:

For some reason, the first virtual host i have listed in apache2.conf gets all the traffic of all the other virtual hosts listed below it.
Example: Domain xyz.com is listed as the first virtual host. the second, third, and fourth are 123.com, 987.com, and mno.com, respectively (fictitious domains). However, it seems that everything below xyz.com goes straight to xyz.com.
If i switch the first entry, xyz.com with any of the others, such as mno.com, so that mno.com is the first virtual host entry, everything then forwards to that domain.
I've run into a wall trying to run apache with multiple websites allowing users to use FTPd to manage files.
I'm running FreeBSD 7.1 on Apache 2.2.x
The issue is that Apache runs as www:www but FTPd writes the files as username:client. When performing some scripts that edit back-end files, this obviously can cause errors.
The data for each directory is stored in /home/username/www
I looked into some apache directives I could use. I tried putting User and Group directives into the vhost configuration for each vhost, but that did not work. I even found the perchild module and it looked like it can do the job but was a bit scared and turned off by the fact that it states it is beta at the top of the page. (I cannot link to it because I do not have enough posts.)
I have a virtual host and I want to allow .htaccess files to be used, but that requires to put allow override yes in the virtual host declairation as its off by default, but I get this error:
Starting httpd: Syntax error on line 16 of /etc/httpd/conf/virtualhosts.conf: AllowOverride not allowed here
This completly ditches my whole virtual hosting idea that I've been planing for a while.
Any other way to allow .htaccess through virtual hosts?
Today I configured a Virtual Host (VH) for one of my customers. VH run on WindowsServer 2003 Apache 2.0.59. I enabled mod_proxy and mod_proxy_http modules and successfully loaded. Here is the VH config:
Code:
<VirtualHost xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:80> ServerAdmin admin@example.com ServerName www.example.com DocumentRoot C:/Apache2/htdocs/www/example.com DirectoryIndex index.php <Proxy *> Order Deny,Allow Allow from all </Proxy> ProxyRequests Off ProxyPass /cms-test [url] ProxyPassReverse /cms-test [url] ProxyPass /cms-eshop [url] ProxyPassReverse /cms-eshop [url] ErrorLog logs/www.example.com-error.log CustomLog logs/www.example.com-access.log combined </VirtualHost> According stated above proxy should map the content of yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy:80 and send it to client... Apache doesn't do that but redirects client directly to yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy instead, even rewriting URL, what is not proper purpose of proxy. I would expect proxy to retrieve content from yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy:80 and forward it to client without URL rewriting. Rewriting URL and direct aiming of client to source of content is unsuccessfull of course, because the source (yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy:80) trust only to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx which has a right to request a content.
Could anybody explain why proxy doesn't proxy and redirects instead?
ProxyRequests Off ProxyPreserveHost On ProxyPass / [url] ProxyPassReverse / [url] </VirtualHost> But somehow, when I read the logs inside /var/log/lighttpd, all I can see is that 127.0.0.1 as the host.
I have a fresh Ubuntu 14.04 install (desktop). I installed Apache, php and mysql from APT and updated everything.I tried to setup a virtual host using these directions: URL...I followed them to the letter:
o I created a folder /var/www/mydomain.local/public_html o I copied the 000-default.conf in sites available and modified it o I added mydomain.local to my hosts file (with IP of 127.0.0.1 o I used a2ensite to enable the host o I used service apache2 reload
When I went to mydomain.local in firefox, it took me to the default host main page.I tried a restart of the service and even a reboot of the computer. No change.On a theory, I used a2dissite to remote 000-default from the enabled site list and reloaded the service. I got the home page for mydomain.local after that.
I created a named host called localhost and reloaded the apache. When I went to http://localhost it took me to the mydomain.local homepage. Rebooted the computer. Now, localhost gives me the apache default home page and mydomain.local does not work at all (I get a server not found).
I get the feeling that there is an apache configuration item I am missing but I cannot find it.
I was wondering, since I know their are tools to automate transfering services from one cpanel server to another, is there any automated one to transfer from godaddy to another host? Im refering to all my files, mysql database, ssl, etc. All but the name servers? Its from a linux godaddy
I have 2 servers on LT SAVVIS data center (through Server4Sale).
Today I received mails from them that LT is migrating out of Savvis and so my servers need to be transported/built(!) at the DataBank facility. And the server IPs will get changed.
If the servers requires a build, that will mean ill have to configure/reinstall everything again. Thats apart from moving the client accounts from the old server.
