How To Transfer Awstats Logs From Old Server To New Server
Oct 7, 2008
We had some issues with old server hence we migrated some websites to another new server from our old server.
We did a backup of all existing webfiles and database from old server and transferred the same to new server, a manual transfer few weeks ago.
However, we were not able to backup our awstats logs for this domains, can someone guide how to transfer awstats from old server to new server?
We cannot perform an automated transfer from old server to new server now, is there some way we can migrate our awstats from old server to new server for this domains?
In reference to my previous post, i want to tranfer accross 7GB of data, approximatly 80,000 files i believe it is (due to a gallery script).
It's currently on another host (on a webhosting account) which uses their own control panel which has no options but to manage databases, the only way i can see to do this is via FTP but it'll take me days. I've tried using compressing and backup scripts, but the damn execution time on the hosts server is too low to allow the files to be zipped. Are there any ways? Can i login to my VPS via SSH and anyhow pull off the files from the other hosts server?
I have a vps (CPANEL)... I would like to have incoming emails for a certain cpanel account transfer to another external server (after coming thru the VPS).
I store my emails on the external server and have more space there.
The reason behind this is:
I have spamassassin on my VPS and would like to run email thru that before it delivers on the external server. I do not have the capability to install spamassassin on the external server.
After a full year of operation, I think I need to delete some log files. What types of files can I safely delete (and is deletion the best option, i.e. will the files be regenerated from zero length?)
For example, my server's error_log file is 193 Mb and my access_log file is 14 Mb. Can I "rm" them both?
Are there any other such files I can safely delete that occupy space on the server?
One of my servers stop generating server logs, ftp logs etc all of a sudden since yesterday. It is a windows IIS 6 server, anyone have any idea on how to repair?
=We are trying to integrate eBay.com feeds into our site and for some reason we are not able to get expected results on current shared hosting server. We tested the same on another server and we are able to get the right results. And the current host doesn't allow us to access the server logs unless we upgrade the account to VPS and Dedicated server. But we are pretty new to launch the site, hence we don't want to buy any VPS or Dedicated server for now. Now we are looking for another shared hosting who can offer to access server logs.
i wana take a backup of my site but the data is too much and i wana transfer it to another server do any one know about server to server data transfer, without downloading data from server to my pc. and i can upload that data to another server faster.
i have tried directransfer.net but it is expensive too much. can any one suggest me any site like this or it is cheap.
we have one server and take new server today we want transfer all data old server to new server my server is centos and cpanel i don`t want done this work of whm if we transfered /etc and /home is good?
Hi, today i was banned from hotmail aparently someone enter our server to one account of one client and sent spam all over the net...
platinumservermanagement already told us the name of the account used and we change the password,
can you please tell me where can i check the out mail logs (am using centos & exim) to see if anyone else is sending out spam? or the number of emails sent?
Is there any way to disallow connections to SEND mail FROM my server to specific IPs? (Similarly to how you can limit connections to sshd from certain IPs)
I realize I cannot disable everything completely, as yahoo and the likes will have to connect to deliver mail. But no one of any use is going to try and connect to send mail, but a spammer.
No one has gotten in and abused it as of yet (knock on wood), but SMTP is being restarted at random and I can only imagine that this is being caused by one of these scumbags probably ddos'ing me. It takes eons to browse these logs, even if they restart via logrotate periodically!
I want to save the access logs of our websites on an external server. If I do this now with the default setup, the gets overwritten every day. The desired file name format whould be: websitedomain-tld-access-2014-10-24.log
How can I tell Plesk to do this and how can I make sure the statistics keep working?
I changed servers. It's been three days since we swapped DNS, and I have a slew of people that still can't access anything.
The thing is, the old server should have been set up to forward everyone to the new server, and it wasn't initially. This was done by the admin company by changing the "localhost" setting on the old config file for the mysql database to the new server's IP address.
So, I have people, a LOT of people, who have been unable to reach anything for the last three days. Neither old server nor new server. Nothing, zip, nada.
Yesterday, the admin company said that they had found something wrong with port 80, and had changed the settings, and we began to see some traffic, FINALLY. I though maybe we were fixed, but this morning, I still have a crapload of emails from people who can't reach anything.
This was a cPanel to cPanel swap, in the same datacenter, on the same vlan.
We're working on Day 4 here, and everyone seems to be guessing, and In get the sense that if I don't stay proactive, nothing will be resolved.
Thing is, I know just enough about this stuff to be dangerous, which is why I pay professional server admins.
I have read some in this forum and the sites I saw linked to others seemed ok but none I've seen really gave me options on more bandwidth.
I figured I would just post what I need and my budget and see if anyone could help me out or point me in the right direction and it be a site I havn't seen before.
I am currently with another dedicated provider that I will not name but I messed up something simple (I know what it is) while trying to add an ip to the box. I submitted a ticket Friday morning at 4am EST time explaing exactly what I need done, and how to do it just so they don't have to even research it. Needless to say the ticket was not even TOUCHED all day today (Friday) and now I am told it will not be looked at until Monday. This means I am without a server for the weekend unless I want to pay a good chunk for "emergency support". I personally find this absurd and think something simple should be a phone call away.
I typed all of this out to explain why I am looking for a new server.
I need a decent (but not hard core) processor, preferably not celeron or sempron.
Atleast 1 gig of ram and 100-200 gig or so HD. The biggest thing I need is transfer, I honestly do not care if its a 10 or 100Mbps port. I need atleast 3 to 4 TB (4000 GB) of transfer.
I just signed up with a new host. How long should I expect it to transfer sites through WHM? I know it depends on the size of the sites but how long does the average 100M site?
I have to move 140 domains from my old cpanel dedicated server to the new one and have root access on both.
Earlier I wanted to avoid copying unnecessary files and was thinking of creating fresh domains/emails on new server and transfering content, but then realised that it will need more than 160 hours of manual labour (including informing clients that their passwords have changed).
Please advice as to which transfer method will be best based on the following constraints:
1. 70 domains will be done one week and remaining 70 next week while both servers continue to run.
2. On the new server all domains will have different nameservers.
METHOD 1. Putting same version of WHM-stable on both servers and using its "Copy an account from old server" feature. After copying the 70 accounts (one-by-one seems to cause less issues with large sites) we change nameservers for those 70 domains over the weekend.
METHOD 2: For every account on old server use "Generate a full cp backup" and let cPanel FTP it to a dummy account on the new server. Restore on new server and change nameservers for those 70 domains over the weekend.
METHOD 3: Run "/scripts/pkgacct username" on old server, move the tar.gz file to new new server. Restore on new server and change nameservers for those 70 domains over the weekend.
METHOD 4: Reduce TTL for A records on old server. Use WHM "Copy an account" on new server. Then modify DNS on old server to point to new server IPs. Now change nameservers at Registrar.
METHOD 5: Asking my datacenter people to use rsync etc. But this will move all data together,
is there any soft for windows who can transfer files from one server to another? I have Shell access on both servers but dont know how to do that via shell..is there any GUI soft for windows where I can on one window see files from one server and on other to see files from second server?
I have a dedicted server (Windows) i am not satisfy with the current company
In these days i decided to move to another company but the new company (liquidweb) reject to transfer the accounts from old server to the new one
I don't have much experince in windows server so any body can guide me to any company doing that for me? or any body can help me with best way to do that i will appreciate
1-current company using Plesk Version 7.6 and the New company using Version 8.1
Are there any good software that will backup current server files and restore them on a new server?
I'm looking for full backup, that would backup all the files in less time instead of going to each account's cpanel first and downloading backup than restoring it to new server.
