Migration from CWP to CWP
« on: February 19, 2025, 02:29:05 PM »
Hi,

In CWP I can see the feature of CWP to CWP Migration.
I just want to know, is that migrate everything from old server or just the home directory only?
If it migrates everything such as email, mysql, named, ssl, vhost, etc to the new server, what should I do at the new server to make it live as the old one?

Thanks.

1)  Migration migrates everything.   But only to the point of migration. If there are changes to the old servers mail folders or mysql after migration, those will not be reflected on the new server.

2)  To change to the new server, you most likely will have to update the glue records at the registrar for your domain name.  If you don't use your own nameservers, every DNS entry will have to be updated to point at the new server.

This can be a complicated process on a live website.  If you can afford to, give notice to users.  Shut down mail and mysql on the old server.  Migrate to new server.  Change DNS to new server.  Once everything is up and running, shut down the old server completely.

If however you need to maintain 100% uptime, you can look into mysql replication and dovecot replication.
