1: Move Live Installation from MacOs to Linux

Hi all,

I'm currently using LAMS on my MacBook Pro and sharing if out to my students. I now have a server setup with Ubuntu server and am attempting to move the data from the Mac to the server.

I was wondering if anyone out there has attempted this before? I'm aware that I have to copy the MySQL database and the lams repositories, but is there anything in the jboss directory that is required for the transfer to be successful?

Any tips would be much appreciated.

All the best

Chris

Hi Chris,

Have a look at the Manual Backups on this page:

http://is.gd/g116i

Just make sure you copy across the repository folder, the jboss-4.0.2/server/default/deploy/lams.ear/lams-www.war/secure folder and of course a database dump from your MySQL.

Also, make sure that you do the mysqldump with the --hex-blob option as it has shown that there's compatibility issues (although it's usually btw Windows and Unix though.. but just in case).

Once you restart your LAMS sever in unix, login as sysadmin and change the Server URL to your new server in the configurations setting (Sysadmin Menu --> Edit Configuration Settings).

Let me know if you have any problems.

Thanks,

Ernie

Hi Ernie,

Thanks for your reply. I actually managed to get this sorted yesterday but didn't get a chance to add a post to the forum.

All the best
