Hi,
I need to move about 40 site from an alabanza server to a new linux server.
Is there a program that permit me to do this without problem ?
(I would like to write original ip with log & pwd and destination ip with log & pwd and the program do the work for me).

Is this SciFi ? :)

Thank you

I'm not aware of any such program, though it sounds like an interesting project. The closest I can think of is FP, assuming you built your site with FP.

NTL I see some pit falls. You can't count on both servers being setup the same way. At the very least you're going to have to setup the paths and dirs on your new server to be the same as on your old one. That includes not just HTML but your scripts, includes, java, data flies, DB's etc etc.

OTOH unless you have a really large and complex site it shouldn't be that much work to copy it down to a PC (if you don't already have a full copy on your machine - you always should!) and then FTP it to the new server.

If you were planning on moving to UltraSpeed then they have a script that can move accounts from Alabanza servers to their own.

i would definately check out ultraspeed if you plan on performing such a move. they seem to be very helpfull with all aspects of the transition. it should be fairly painless with the script that was mentioned above.

the only thing you need to keep in mind is that your clients are in for a big shocker from the control panel standpoint.

just my 2 cents....

Ultraspeed isnt accepting any new cleints as of now. They are working some documentation or something.

I can see a tar of each site, or maybe all of them at once, with transfer by FTP and then untarring them. But Jaiem is right, you'll have to check out each domain after you move it to make sure that their scripts work, that they don't have any remains of Alabanza-specific items in there (like the counter, just for instance, since that's one I know of). Do you intend to recreate their mailboxes for them, or have them set them up again? If their mail is stored on the server, make sure you take that along or have them pull it down before you start moving. If there's one thing people detest, it's losing their mail.

Is it possible to copy the mailbox from one server to another ? is there some documentation somewhere ?

Thank you

Since most of the time a mailbox is just a text file, you should be able to tar that up (or whatever you do when you go) and take it with you. After the mailboxes are created, you can either dump the contents of the old boxes into the new, or overwrite the existing mailboxes. All this depends on your system, though, and if you choose to overwrite the mailboxes that are created on the new system, you might need to check the ownership and permissions to make sure thay can actually get into them.
