Plastic SCM migration & configuration guide? to migrate to new machine?
If it exists please dont give me negative a my googling and searching did not come up with a GUIDE. I looked around could not find anything definitive.
Please link me to it or share a definitive set of steps/ guide and what/ how to be backed up/ restored for migration.
If I properly understand, you need to migrate a Plastic SCM server to a new machine. For that purpose:
Install the last Plastic SCM version in your new machine.
Migrate the databases: The goal is to move the databases to the new server location. You can directly copy the database files to the new location or even run a replica operation between the two servers.
Copy the next configuration files in order to keep your server configuration parameters:
db.conf -> Is the one handling the database connection.
users.conf and groups.conf -> If you are using the User&Password authentication mode.
plasticd.lic -> The license file.
server.conf -> Your old server configuration parameters.
PD: Remember also to reconfigure your clients to point to the new server location. You will probably have workspaces with selector pointing to the old server.

Currently we are subscribed to GoDaddy for their dedicated server lease, and now we are considering just purchasing our own server and just moving off of GoDaddy.
I have no idea how to put all of my source code from one server to another and also move the database and other files. Please explain what process has to be followed for this.
Also wanted to ask if their would be any changed for the third party tools i have used in my application?
To migrate my web application from one server to another I would do following :
Make a list of all transferable which would be:
Latest and running Source code on the server (ideally located in wwwroot)
database back up files (usually .mdb or .bak)
Copy source code and database back up to targeted server. Obviously depending upon type of the server you may need to set up the site in IIS and and point it to new directory
Restore database backup on database server
edit web.config to point to new database server and credentials.
Another important tip: If you have kept domain name with GoDaddy and only changing hosting server you may also need to change namedserver of you domain, without which you will not be able to point your domain to new hosting provider!
You may not succeed on the very first attempt of copying your stuffs to target server. It's always better to maintain back up so that you can copy files again and again in case something goes wrong on the new server.
As long as third party charges are concerned please check with your service providers they may be able to guide you best. For above simple stuff you do not need to worry about license stuff.
All the best!
My requirement is to restore mongodb databases from dev box to test server having three nodes. I have setup the replication between three nodes for high availability.
I have created backup on dev using mongodump to a different directory.
Now my requirement is to restore all databases in test server using copied folder path.
I have looked number of articles over internet but did not find the exact solution to restore databases. I know mongorestore command will work but how to restore from different path.
I tried following steps to achieve this >
1. Restore with replication /without replication.
2. stop mongodb service and copy backup folder to data directory then
start service.
Mongo Config Information >
storage:
dbPath: "E:/AO_DATA/mongodb/data"
systemLog:
destination: file
path: "E:/AO_DATA/mongodb/log/mongod.log"
net:
port: 30198
replication:
replSetName: "repl_01"
Please help me to implement it.
Try using Studio3T. When you setup your replicaset in this software, you will see your nodes and your collections. Right click on the collection, export & import in your desired format and location.
I just downloaded glassfish 4.1.1 (previously I had 4.1). Last time I upgraded I remade my security realm and DB connections. This time I'm wondering if there is an easy way to move those from the previous version used to my new one.
Just downloaded Glassfish 4.1.1 myself and will face the same problem. I will first try the following workaround: Copy the relevant part from the C:\glassfish4\glassfish\domains\domain1\config\domain1.xml (or whatever your domain is called or where it is located) and paste it into the according spot in the new domain1.xml. Provided the relevant external resources exist (databases, LDAP, etc..) and the respective datasources or other glassfish resources exist as well, this should do the trick.
Start by searching your old domain1.xml for any name that you yourself introduced, such as the name of the realm or the datasource. Copy that relevant piece of XML, make a safety copy.
Then look where to fit it into the new domain1.xml.
Funny that security realms cannot be added via a glassfish resource via the NetBeans new-Menu, whereas connection pools and other stuff can. And it all is merely copied into the domain1.xml.
Sorry about English, Actually i have been looking for best article about WHM/CPANEL server migration but i could not find yet. Hope this is the right platform.
I have one WHM/CPANEL server running with CentOS x86_64 standard. Now i want to migrate all stuff to my new high end machine.
Need to Transfer: (All accounts along with databases, Exim configuration, Tweak settings, PHP etc etc).
Note: I need step by step guide which will be highly appreciated, I am not too much technical and in learning phase so please go easy on me.
Thanks in advance.
First you need to install and setup cPanel on your new server.
After that you can migrate your all cPanel account to new server through transfer tool. WHM >> Transfers >> Transfer Tool
Here are the some useful docs.
https://documentation.cpanel.net/display/CKB/How+to+Move+All+cPanel+Accounts+from+One+Server+to+Another
cPanel setting are stored in /etc/wwwacct.conf and /var/cpanel/cpanel.config file so you can copy that setting to new server.
After the server setup is complete, you will have to recreate all the accounts you wish to move, on the server. You can create the domains in your server using the WHM and then restore the website contents manually using a FTP client(say FileZilla).
First you have to take the backup of your domain via cPanel. Please check below URL to find information regarding this:-
http://docs.cpanel.net/twiki/bin/view/AllDocumentation/CpanelDocs/BackupWizard#Backup your entire site
Then Create the account in WHM.
Upload the contents in these newly created domain and restore them via WHM or cPanel.
To restore via WHM please follow below steps:-
Main >> Backup >> Restore a Full Backup/cpmove file
Please refer the cPanel docs link below on how to restore an account via cPanel.
http://docs.cpanel.net/twiki/bin/view/AllDocumentation/CpanelDocs/BackupWizard#
If you have cpanel WHM server and you want to transfer your whole server accounts and websites to another WHM server then its really very easy and simple. All you need is root access of both server.
If you have set up your high end new WHM server, then login to your new WHM with root user and go to transfer tool from WHM > Transfers > Transfer Tool. It will show you fields to input the details of your low end server. Once you provide the root information of server it will fetch the accounts lists and account details. From there you can select which accounts to transfer and which to not. If you want to transfer all accounts then you can select all and proceed the transfer. It will transfer all your accounts with their current package details.
Try the cpanel transfer tool its easy and simple to understand and proceed.

I've successfully created site using Umbraco now its time to upload it on hosting server..
i've searched and got one paid product for the same..and i dont want to use it.
Has any body tried developing Umbraco site on local and then uploading it on server?
If yes then please help me doing that.
First I run the umbraco install from a local IIS website. Then I setup my visual studio solution for that website (and my souce control). Then I work, until I reach a beta version, then I go through this process for deploying:
Ftp over to the remove website and copy the whole website (I actually use Beyond compare).
Connect to my local database with management studio and create a .bak file.
Upload the .bak file to the database server.
Restore that database
Review connection strings in web.config
Then I'm pretty much done.
Once I'm "live" and have content I don't want to lose, when I want to work on the website, I bring back the live database through a .bak file, then I make my changes. They often include DB changes since the schema is basically in the database. I note all the operations I do. Once my changes are ready I manually replicate the changes on the live site as I update the files.
This is very painfull but I tried solutions like courrier and other things like that and they are not reliable enough for production I find. Manually is the only risk free way I see for the moment.
Hope this helps.
Yes, that happens all the time. Use FTP to copy your local installation to your webserver, modify the web.config to point to the correct database and your website should be up-and-running.
I'm sure there are more elegant solutions with less clicks but here's how I do it on azure websites with sql, not sure what hosting/db you're using:
1) Create an empty db on azure with the same login and user as my local db.
2) Create an empty site on azure connected to my db.
3) Download the publishing profile.
4) Upload the db the first time with Sql Azure Migration Wizard.
5) Import the publishing profile into and upload the site with WebMatrix.
6) Thereafter I deploy the site and db with WebMatrix.
WebMatrix uses WebDeploy or FTP, you can use WebDeploy through IIS if you like, and FTP.
