I'm struggling with a migration issue that I'd really appreciate some help with.

I currently have 2 dedicated DA servers that I want to consolodate into 1.

What I am trying to do is move all the user accounts and associated files (everything in public_html for each account) from server 1 onto server 2.

Both servers have several reseller accounts configured, and the user accounts are managed under the resellers.

What I would like to do is move all user accounts from reseller 1 on server 1 to reseller 1 on server 2, etc.

The servers are in different data centres.

Is there an easy way to do this?

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Create new resellers on server2.

Create reseller backups on server1.

Move them to server2.

Restore them on server2.

Hi Jeff

Thanks for your help.

Another question...

The server 2 box has 10 resellers and all IPs are already allocated across those 10 resellers - so there's no spare IPs on server 2 to allocate if I create new reseller accounts on there.

Is there a way I could move the accounts from server 1 onto server 2 and add these new accounts to the already existing resellers on server 2.

Thanks again

Mike

Yes, the same way, except don't bother to create the resellers.

(You don't need an IP# to create a reseller; you can use a system shared IP#.)
