looking for input on moving a couple small family websites from a
desktop machine running lenny to a poweredge 4600 I just bought.
poweredge has two 73gb scsi drives, perc3 embedded raid. in process of
formatting drives, and then setting up container. desktop has a 300gb
drive, all one partition, but only about 4gb used. ideally would like
to just somehow dd or rsync contents of the desktop to the other machine.
question. how would YOU do it with minimal hassle, ie. having to edit
config files, databases and such. this thing has been running since
etch and been a learning process along the way.... i doubt my idea of
cloning would work, but?
and
4. What web server are you using and what version is it? What are you
planning to use on the new machine?
currently apache2- 2.2.9, sticking with apache on new one, looks like
2.2.16 on squeeze
5. What provisions are you making for backups?
automated daily wordpress,
Ok... so this is about moving a wordpress installation from one machine
to another.
If it were me, I'd:
1. Get your Debian installation working.
2. Install MySql & Apache, copy your config files, tweak as necessary.
3. If you have any static files being served by Apache, move them over.
4. Install Wordpress.
5. Follow the directions at http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress
6. If you have anything else running under your webserver (e.g., a wiki
package), look for application-specific migration instructions and
follow them.
