Hi Janos,
I've installed a new Mail Piler 1.3.4 server running on CentOS 7.
Could you please advise on the below.
I'd like to look at exporting emails from the old and into the new,
based on emails for all the domain instead of defining email addresses.
As another question, will the import honour the /new/ retention times on
the domain? the old ones I didn't put a retention time on one or two of
the domains, on the new server I wish to set a limit so that potentially
emails can be pruned after 5 years (for some domains).
Please advise.
Thank you.

Hi Janos,
OK cool, that sounds easy enough.
I've searched and found to export:
http://www.mailpiler.org/wiki/current:exporting-emails
I'd want to do the export per domain, I realise the space requirements
but that's OK.
I'm just hoping you can confirm the command, as it doesn't really show
how to do a domain, just email addresses within that domain:
pilerexport -f example.com
pilerexport -t example.com
If I have to do specific email addresses, I can live with that it'll
just take more time, I'd rather do full domains.
For importing the emails to the other system:

Hmm.. I'm assuming the export put them all in mbox format with
attachments, so I'd likely do something like:
pilerimport -d /somepathfromexport
?

Hello Michael,
I recommend to upgrade to the latest stable version 1.3.4.
One possible way to do it is deploying centos 7 x64 with php 7
on a new host, then exporting all emails from old archive, and
import them on new archive.
When you have double checked that new archive works properly, you
may decommission the old host. Or perhaps wait a week/month before
doing so, just in case.

Hi,
I've downloaded 1.2.0 and couldn't find much in there as to
installing, it's been years since I last done this so I went to:
http://www.mailpiler.org/wiki/current:installation
I run on CentOS 6.10, which comes with php 5.3.3 by default. The
install docs show php 7.x is needed, which isn't a major problem but
now stops me dead in my tracks.
Do I upgrade the PHP on CentOS 6 to PHP v7.x or do I install a CentOS
7 machine and put that onto PHP 7.x ?
I'd rather install a CentOS 7 machine for longevity, but this poses
the next problem:
1. do I install 1.1.1 on CentOS 7, migrate the 1.1.1 files, DB, etc to
the CentOS 7 server, then upgrade 1.1.1 to 1.2.0, then to further
versions, or
2. do I install the CentOS 7 machine with the latest Piler 1.3.4, and
then work out how to migrate from the CentOS 6 Piler 1.1.1 machine to
the CentOS 7 1.3.4 Piler machine?
Please advise your thoughts and recommendations.
Thanks.
Michael.

Hi Janos,
Thank you, I found the web page for it here:
http://www.mailpiler.org/wiki/current:upgrade
How do I find out which version I am running?
I think I'm running 1.1.1, because that's the only archive I've
found on the server when I installed it 28 April 2015.
But I want to make sure before performing the upgrade.
Thanks.
Michael.

Hello,
well, the official site has a section for the upgrade. It should
work.
It's worth to backup the MySQL database, your configs and the
piler.key.

Hi,
I have an older Mail Piler version and would like to update to the
latest.
Are there any upgrade docs on-line or similar that I may look at
so the
upgrade is smooth?
Thanks.
Michael.
