Moving OX installation to new hardware

[linit000]

Hi all,

we' are about to move the current installation 6.20.0 Rev22 to a new server. Which way do you prefer, or is there any howto about this task. BTW, the new server should run RHEL6, the old is running RHEL5.

Thanks,
Chris

Hi Chris,

i would reinstall it from scratch, migrate over the configuration files (compare and only modify the differences) and copy the database (mysqldump etc.) also make sure that the filestore is copied over.

Hi Martin,

Hi Martin,

the migraton was successful. But now I am not able to upload any contact pictures. Maybe there's some graphics tool missing? Server throws following exeption:
