migration

NOTE: We suggest you to format your main server with ubuntu 18 before you start your migration. It is the best way to avoid any conflict with your older panel and services.

DO NOT POINT YOUR DNS TO YOUR NEW MAIN SERVER IP BEFORE THE MIGRATION IS FINISHED. OTHERWISE MIGRATION MIGHT FAIL! PLEASE POINT YOUR DOMAIN TO YOUR NEW MAIN SERVER IP ONLY AFTER MIGRATION IS DONE AND ALL YOUR SERVERS ARE FULLY UP IN YOUR PANEL!

SAME APPLIES IF YOU USE THE SAME MAIN SERVER FOR MIGRATION. CUT DOWN THE CONNECTION OF YOUR DOMAIN FROM YOUR MAIN SERVER IP, OR AT LEAST PERFORM THE MIGRATION USING A DIFFERENT HTTP PORT THAN YOUR NORMAL ONE TO AVOID CLIENT FLOODING YOUR MAIN SERVER DURING MIGRATION.

Migration will be automated with our system! You can either migrate using the same main server that you have now in your old panel or using a new main server and restore your backup. ALWAYS have a backup saved somewhere local in your possession! Please make sure that your backup file is taken after you delete your logs, so the file can be as small as possible.  

1. Either you have a new main server or the same one, you need to take a backup from your old panel and save it locally. Delete mysql with the commands below. Transfer your backup file in your main server preferably in this path: /root/backup.sql Then in your 1st page of your panel, in the installation of main server menu, you will see an option “specify path for backup” and there you should put: /root/backup.sql

IMPORTANT: We always suggest to have the smallest size backup possible (by deleting your logs), taken from your old panel. We also suggest to NOT have already pre-installed mysql service as it might conflict in the installation process. Please uninstall your mysql service following the directions bellow.
