Hi!
I am using Cyrus-imapd on FC3. Now I need to change the server so I will move all users to a new server. What should I do to move all accounts, messages, etc for cyrus-imapd to a new server which will also run on FC3?
Regards, Sasa
OK, I have done backup of /Var/lib/imap and /var/spool/imap dir's, then I have copied these dir's to a new server, make sure everything is owned by cyrus user and then start cyrus-imapd. The problem is that when connected with an imap client I can see the headers of the messages but not the bodies - they are all blank. I have tried with reconstruct but after I ran it I loose even the headers from the messages. What am I doing wrong here?
I don't know what is wrong with you setup. What I know is that you have to transfer
/etc/cyrus.conf /etc/imapd.conf /var/lib/imap /var/spool/imap
to the new box and it works. How did you transfer?
Simon
Yes, I did transfer all these files. I use SSH (winscp) to transfer.
Ah, I knew it, that's why I asked. Please let non *x OSes out of the game. Use either rsync of tar. Something like:
on oldbox:
cd / tar cpzvf /tmp/cyrus-imapd.tar.gz /etc/cyrus.conf /etc/imapd.conf /var/lib/imap /var/spool/imap scp /tmp/cyrus-imapd.tar.gz newbox:/tmp/
on newbox:
cd / service cyrus-imapd stop rm -rf /var/lib/imap/* /var/spool/imap/* tar xzpvf /tmp/cyrus-imapd.tar.gz service cyrus-imapd start
HTH Simon
Thanx, that worked.
