With Mysqlfront you can import one db to another db on another server. http://www.mysqlfront.de I've done it this way before. -Original Message- From: Michael Bellears [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, July 23, 2004 5:00 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [vchkpw] Migrating an entire domain to a different server.

I would do this, but I have ~300 Domains on our server, that I do not want on the clients new server. Regards, MB > > regards > > Shane

(This is the step I am > unsure about!) Well, you can do that. Or you convert the user base to CDB on the original server (~vpopmail/bin/vconvert -m -c $domain), copy the CDB file to the other server (inside the domain dir), then run vconvert on the new server (~vpopmail/bin/vconvert -c -m $domain).

[vchkpw] Migrating an entire domain to a different server.
Running vpopmail version: 5.3.19, with MySQL auth (I know - Have to upgrade!), and we have one client who wishes to move there domain to a new server - The domain contains about 400 accounts, and I was wondering the best way to migrate the entire domain? - Add clients_domain to new server - Copy /home/vpopmail/domains/clients_domain/* to new server - Copy MySQL entries for domain to new server? (This is the step I am unsure about!) Thanks in advance. Regards, MB
