Migration to other server

Please contact us before migration as only Kolmisoft team can migrate the license key from old server to new one.

Login to Your system, shutdown asterisk and apache:

/etc/init.d/asterisk stop
/etc/init.d/httpd stop

This is needed to make sure you have ideal data in your new server.

Then make a backup of your databases:

  mkdir /root/backups
  cd /root/backups
  mysqldump --all-databases -u DATABASEUSER -pDATABASEPASSWORD >/root/backups/alldatabases.sql
  tar -czvf alldatabases_BACKUP.tar.gz /root/backups/*.sql

This will make an archived backup with your databases in /root/backups/alldatabases_BACKUP.tar.gz file

Download and leave a copy in some safe place, for example your workstation.

To extract files from archive do:

  tar xvfz file_name.tar.gz

Copy all remaining files:

/etc/my.cnf
/etc/asterisk directory (asterisk config files), 
/home/mor/config (config directory)
/var/lib/asterisk/sounds (sounds, including custom ones)
/var/spool/asterisk/monitor (recordings)
/var/spool/asterisk/faxes
/home/mor/public/images/logo
... any other important files which you think could be usefull in future.

• Install new server
• Apply upgrades

Copy your old my.cnf file to /etc/my.cnf (then restart mysql server). Copy your old files to your new system.

If everything was smooth , its good idea to Change default passwords.
