Scalix Forums

Hi,
i´d like to migrate an Scalix Server V 11.2 running on Debian etch to an Machine with CentOS.

What would be the easiest way doing this without loosing any Message or Settings of Scalix?

Greetings Mysterious

Rsync your message store to the new server and then install scalix over top of it.

I'd recommend rebuilding the database data anyway, so just do a reinstall of Postgres. You might want to ignore that advice depending on how much data you have.

There are lots of threads here about doing a migration. Most will help. The important things to keep are permissions on everything. If you lose them, then install Scalix, as best as you can, over top, and then run omcheck to fix them. omcheck is REALLY slow (because it checks so many individual items) but it works fine. Just be (really, really) patient. (Or make sure you don't lost the permissions in the first place)

Kev.

OK, i rsynced the whole /var/opt/scalix to my new machine. CHanged the uid of scalix user to fit to the old server. Installationwent ok, but ifi try to loginthe SAC i get "COuld not retrieve serverlist". Login to webmailfails with user not found. An "omshowu -m all" shows my mailboxes correctly.

Any idea fixing this? I tried reinstallseveral times. What i notived is, that i have to manual copy the scalix-webmail-config File from httpd.conf Directory. Itis not generated bythe installer script.

ALso i did a:
omcheck -s -d > check_file
sh check_file

The strage thing is . If i install the scalix without having the messagestore coiped over to the new machine and mak a clean new isntallation all works perfekt.
