Migration to another machine | Forum

I have a test of the migration of machine to machine in 1.7.1.

Please advice because it does not go well.

My procedure was to reference http://www.oxwall.org/forum/topic/24134.

At the from machine:

1. deactivate all third-party plugins.

2. turn on 'maintenance mode"

3. zip -r backup.zip * .htaccess;

4. mysqldump --opt --user= --password= --database xxxx > backup.sql;

At the to machine:

5. create database yyyy;

6. grant all privileges on yyyy .* to .....;

7. mysql -u root -p yyyy < backup.sql;

8 unzip backup.zip;

9. change 'OW_URL_HOME' 'OW_DB_USER' 'OW_DB_PASSWORD' and 'OW_DB_NAME' in ow_includes/config.php

10. turn "maintenance Mode" off.

11. activate all third-party plugins.

It is almost no problem,

but sometime uploading lang or plugin has make "Error 500" or "xpath() " in To machine.

I want to know the correct procedure of migration.

I think it's crucial thing to the operation of the SNS site.

Please look here: http://docs.oxwall.org/faq:how-to-transfer-my-site-to-another-hosting

Don't forget about the permissions of the folder and files.
let us know if the issue with xpath persists after changing permissions.

Ohh- Here also seems there are many racist person.

He seems bored.

OK ross how about 64bit to 32bit or vice versa?

It has nothing to do with the architecture type, as the 64bit or 32-bit effects the productivity of your server. the issue you reported before was related to the permissions of the files created under Apache user(which is Nobody), it gives incorrect permissions.

You need to contact your hosting provider support team and find out why

I found the cause of this problem.

4. mysqldump --opt --user= --password= --database xxx > backup.sql ;

was the problem.

When creating same database name, it makes "xpath() " error.

When creating different database name, it makes "Error 500" error.

4. mysqldump --u -p -r backup.sql -l xxx ;

was correct.

Ross. They solve the topic 27395, 27514 and 27764.

I will post to them, from sure once again.

Eiji, these are practically the same commands, except for the -r in the second one which is used basically for Windows servers.

I'm glad to hear that you solved your issue. Thanks for letting us know.

Certainly -r parameters might be no need in linux.

However in the former,

we can migrate only in exactly the same DB. Others cannot be.

And it must be same url structure.

For example: the migrating from /sns to / makes these problems.

The latter is possible in different DB name and different url structure.

Anyway, glad the issue is solved and all other you have reported.
