Hi Michael, OK, thanks for the update and clarification (I thought I must have missed something about an update as I know I hit it at least once).
Last migrate I did: - the initial migrate, then test web sites. - then swiched DNS for web sites, - then making sure all were working... - then stop email on the original server then used IMAP Sync in the BO admin for each of the email boxes (I notice it does not like some characters in the passwords that BO allows, so a a little fiddling of password resets sometimes) - then switched email dns across, as most REAL mail servers will attempt to resend if the mail server is not working. Besides I usually do it late at night so not many emails will have to retry. Looking at my steps, I suspect there is a way to migrate email only without having to do each email box separately? I was concerned that if I snc'd across, then moved web and email dns entries to the newly setup server, syncing again would overwrite new emails that had come in since the original sync, as the original server would be seen as the more correct source, or is the sync smart enough to keep any new emails, I know this goes on a tangent a little, just more mind wandering... as I am just about to look at migrating to 5211, just taking stock of what sites I have where etc. Regards Brian On 11/4/2023, 4:47 pm, "Blueonyx on behalf of Michael Stauber" <blueonyx-boun...@mail.blueonyx.it <mailto:blueonyx-boun...@mail.blueonyx.it> on behalf of mstau...@blueonyx.it <mailto:mstau...@blueonyx.it>> wrote: Hi Brian, > Sorry for dropping in, I thought that the SQL DB users and/or DBs should not > be on the destination, as I thought it stopped the SQL migration across if > the DB or username already existed. > > Was there a change? Sorry, my mistake. I think my mind skipped a step. Indeed: When you do additional syncs, you either need to delete the DBs on the target server first, or need to migrate with the switch --nomysql to keep the DBs as is. -- With best regards Michael Stauber _______________________________________________ Blueonyx mailing list Blueonyx@mail.blueonyx.it <mailto:Blueonyx@mail.blueonyx.it> http://mail.blueonyx.it/mailman/listinfo/blueonyx <http://mail.blueonyx.it/mailman/listinfo/blueonyx> _______________________________________________ Blueonyx mailing list Blueonyx@mail.blueonyx.it http://mail.blueonyx.it/mailman/listinfo/blueonyx
