Move To Another Host With .Tar.Gz Backup File
Jan 12, 2009
I'm thinking about moving an account with one main domain and a bunch of addons from one cpanel host to another, using a whole site backup .tar.gz file. SSH does not appear to be an option at this point.
I just extracted the tar.gz to a local pc to get a look at what's in it. It has these 12 folders: bandwidth, cp, cron, dnszones, logs, meta, mysql, resellerconfig, userdata, va, vad, vf. Below these folders are also 14 unfoldered files, ranging from "addons" to "version."
So, will this work?
1. Does this mean the domains and all the addons will be set up with their original user names, passwords, and email accounts with all the same passwords, if I move everything to the right location? Will all the email accounts I've set up in my email client software work just as they do now with the current host?
2. How can I know where all these uploaded folders and files have to be moved once they're there?
3. Can I just upload the extracted contents to one location, or do I have to upload the unextracted tar.gz to a server, extract there, then move the contents wherever they need to be moved (but I don't know where things need to be moved now)?

How to move a file via ssh?
I wish to download the following file : wordpress.org/latest.tar.gz
To my server via ssh, how can I do it, is it possible?
Is it really possible to transfer the file directly with out downloading to my desktop and uploading.
If any one got information please share as it could be really helpful for us, as we need to download files almost 10-20 different such files to our site

I just moved a website I took over to a new host. The programmer hard-coded the DB in. The old code refers to the mediatemple address:
mysql_connect("internal-db.s5363.gridserver.com", "db5363", "-removed-") or die ('I cannot connect to the database because: ' . mysql_error());
mysql_select_db("db5363_bb", $link)
how I can configure this for the new (CPanel) IGX Host server?

I have a VPS with one provider and have recently opened an account with another provider, I want exactly the same install on there as what I had on the old provider. Is it possible to backup the whole thing on the old VPS and then restore it on the new one?
This would save a lot of time editing and configuring files, and make the switch easy.

how to move my web sites from one host to another?
I believe my new host will happily do so.. and, I'd really like to know how to do it myself.
Two of the sites have blogs with lots of posts on them.
If you know of any video tutorials, I'd appreciate it.
I've watched one on backing up the site to "remote ftp server". I do not know what that means and have not been able to find a description/definition.

I'm moving a site to a new host. So far everything went well: site moved, database restored, domain transferred.. but now I'm facing the fact "how to move the email account in a way the users can keep all their mails and contacts?"
At this moment, the mail account is still with NetFirms and they use NetFirms Webmail. The new host is using Squirrel Mail, Webmail or RoundCube (the user can select either one of these).
Do i need to backup, move and restore all the mails accounts? Or do the users need to backup all their mails (let's say with Outlook Express)? Or is there another way to do this?

I have access to the DNS Zone where the accounts are currently hosted and I would like to change these so it a quick change over from old host to new host.
Do I change the Minimum TTL which is currently 86400?
Do I change the TTL for each A record which are currently 14400?
Do I change the nameservers in the DNS record from what they are now to the new host nameservers?

I have some 100's of MB's to move and I'm definitely not doing it by transferring it via my PC / FTP.
I seen all the tutorials on how to move your MySQL databases, but what about full folders etc, how do I move those (putty?)?

I currently have one blog on wordpress (a sub domain like name.wordpress.com).
I want to purchase a domain and also move it to a paid host. I am not really technically knowledgeable to do this. Have visited a few step by step guides but find them quite confusing.
guide to do the move/transfer of the blog, more for a beginner? And by the way is it simple to do or actually more for a professional?

The data centre which I use, is moving all collacated servers to a brand new data centre next week, which will mean a two hour downtime for each of my servers and customer websites.
At the moment my servers utilise two nameservers on seperate servers and when the move happens all websites will be offline with an ugly error message to any visitors.
Does anyone know a good way to setup a page which would be displayed if the web server was down? I am using MS DNS.
My thoughts so far is
1. Setup a 3rd nameserver which is off site from the data centre.
2. Purcahse web hosting / vps for a month on a seperate hosting company
3. Set it up so that it accepts * to a specific IP address in IIS or apache
4. I create an index.php script which gets the host header value sent i.e. [url]and the page then displays a nice maintenace i.e
"We are sorry joeblogs.com is currently down for maintenace, we will be back online shortly".
I think my main question is do I need to setup a 2nd www record in DNS for each site and how do I ensure the 2nd dns (backup record) only gets used when the first website / server is down.

I am trying to figure out a way to move a site from 1 host to another... The problem is that I don't just have a bunch of HTML files to move... I rented a VPS server for the last year, I believe it was CentOS 5 (OS). I setup several things on the server, MYSQL, FFMPEG, ETC...
I am now wanting to move to a dedicated server HOWEVER I DO NOT WANT TO START ALL OVER AGAIN. The site is rather busy and it is important to do the transition as fast as possible.
SO -- I have used Symantec Ghost before to "clone" a computer before. It basically takes an IMAGE of the entire HD and then you can paste/burn that image on a new HD and it makes a PERFECT copy of the original machine.
BUT - I have NO CLUE how to do this over the internet?

My basic VPS backup plan is to have WHM create a backup for me, save it somewhere on my local VPS, and then rsync it off site.
As a beginner with linux, I'm not sure where to have WHM put this file. Is there a recommended place to place this backup file -- it will only be there temporarilly, but I don't know a secure place to put it.
e.g. /home or should I create a new directory called /backups? (and if so -- once again, where in the directory tree do I put it?)

I currently do daily backups to rsyncpalace Daily, weekly, monthly. cPanel does a backup of all user accounts to a folder and they are rsync'd offsite via ssh.
My questions are: Should I be comfortable or concerned that all of my website(s)' data are neatly bundled, stored in plaintext (tar) formats and only protected by a single login and password?
Am I exposed to any more or less risk of tampering with my data than on my webserver itself?

I have a site going that requires quite a large space/bandwidth host which allows hotlinking/streaming. Currently it's sucking up around 1.3gb space and 50gb/mo, maybe a tad less than that. My budget is low, I've currently been working off free hosts which has been a huge pain.
So basically I need a cheap host with moderate allowances, uptime with a decent speed. But because technically it's just a filehost which allows hotlinking/streaming (maybe even hotlinking protection), I don't need the other jazz to be working.
I saw Brinkster (which doesn't allow streaming, so good thing I didn't buy that) and webhostingpad, which both seem to get terrible reviews here.

I have a dedicated server for most of my sites and scripts
I'm starting a site (kind of like rapidshare, not really the same but for the purpose of this example, it might as well be rapidshare/megaupload/etc)
I want to run the main site off my dedicated server, but for the hosting of files, I want hosting that will offer good speeds/bandwidth/space
I'm not sure if I should get multiple 10mbit/sec lines, or one 100mbit/sec line, or what I should really do

I have been reading about Amazon S3's service at [url] and I was wondering if it would be wise to use their service for a file host (like rapidshare..) I may be starting?
How good is their bandwidth and what is their policy on copyrighted material?
Or should I buy my own servers from an unmetered provider, such as alphared?

What's the best way to set up an automatic file backup to Amazon's S3 service? I have a Linux cpanel VPS. I have minimal VPS administration knowledge but at least the VPS is managed by a good team
Is there any way to do incremental backups to save on the bandwidth charges?
(a full backup for me would be about 15 gigs each time)

I have created a Cpanel full backup of my website. The file is 2.65GB in size, but when I log in with my FTP client, I get a LISTERROR - [filename] and the filename doesn't appear in the directory window.
Can I still use a custom command to download this file?

I recently opened a shared hosting account with a new host.
Can someone advise on file/folder permissions I can set which will keep my shared host neighbors out?
While accessing my account via FTP I noticed I could freely view and download files from other users folders - their PHP, HTML, images, you name it!
I would like to be more private with my files which include PHP scripts, images, etc.
I already contacted the help desk with my host and the tech said shared access between accounts is normal (even FTP) and if I restricted permissions then my PHP wouldn't work for Internet users.
I'm not buying it. I should be able to set the permissions such that Internet users can execute the PHP and view images, without my account neighbors using FTP to download my files.

This feature will restore full backups, cpanel backups and cpanel move files in the format of:
cpmove-user.tar.gz, user.tar.gz, backup-date_time_user.tar.gz
The files must be in one of these directories on the server:
/home,/usr/home,/web,/home2,/home3,/root,/usr
You must upload the file to one of the above locations before using this feature.
why i see this error ?

I'm trying to recover a subdirectory from a full cpanel backup (tar file).
I placed the backup on the /home/<userdir>/
Then I listed the content of the tar file and the directory is in there:
backup-3.1.2006_11-36-43_userlin2/homedir/public_html/php/viacache/
I need to restore /viacache to the original location
Code:
tar -xvf backup-3.1.2006_11-36-43_userlin2.tar /public_html/php/viacache
response:
tar: /public_html/php/viacache: Not found in archive
also (absolute path)
Code:
tar -xvf backup-3.1.2006_11-36-43_userlin2.tar /home/userlin2/public_html/php/viacache
Not found in archive....
