Server running webuzo today suddenly would not respond to anything. No http, no ftp, no ssh. nothing. i couldn't even ping. relaunched instance 5 times with different IPs.
i was able to make a clone of the hard drive and move to another instance. now i follow your instructions to migrate but it doesn't read the databases.
Your instructions are incorrect.
Add the contents of the /var/lib/mysql/ directory on the OLD Server to an archive as follows :
root@host > cd /var/lib/mysql/
root@host > tar -pczvf wuser_mysql_data.tar.gz *
Transfer the above archive to the NEW server as follows :
root@host > scp -p wuser_mysql_data.tar.gz root@NEW_IP_ADDRESS:/var/lib/mysql/
Now SSH to your NEW Server as root user and extract the archive as follows:
root@host > cd /var/lib/mysql/
root@host > tar -zxvf wuser_conf.tar.gz
---The last part tells me ssh to my new server and untar wuser_conf.tar.gz. But i don't have wuser_conf.tar.gz because the step before told me to tar it as wuser_mysql_data.tar.gz.
anyways i untar wuser_mysql_data.tar.gz. all the files are there but nothing is picked up from webuzo.
i've emailed support numerous times the past 2 weeks and have barely any response. Customer service is absolute joke now. No one has been on
skype support for 3 weeks.
How does a modern day web admin have no capability of backing up system as a whole?
