If you wish to move your Ubersmith install to a different server, please follow these instructions. Unless otherwise specified, commands will be executed by the system's root user.
Prepare your existing Ubersmith installation for the migration by following these steps:
Shut down the Database
Shut down your MySQL database server. Under most distributions of Linux, this can be achieved by the following means:
/etc/init.d/mysqld stop
or
/etc/init.d/mysql stop
Shutting down your database ensures that it remains in a consistent state during the migration process. Your Ubersmith instance will become unavailable to administrators and clients while the database is stopped.
Remove / Disable Cron Jobs
The cron jobs Ubersmith uses to perform monitoring and daily invoice runs must be stopped. By default, these cron jobs are run by the user associated with your Apache web server. Depending on the distribution of Linux you are running, these jobs could be associated with the nobody, apache, or www-data user. To disable the cron jobs, run
crontab -e -u apache
where apache is the name of the user account associated with Apache. The entries you wish to disable will look similar to the following:
*/5 * * * * php -q -f /var/www/html/cron/poll.php 'billing.yourcompany.com'
30 0 * * * php -q -f /var/www/html/cron/invoice.php 'billing.yourcompany.com'
You can disable the cron jobs by placing a pound sign/octothorpe (#) in front of them, or by removing them entirely. Removing the entries is suggested.
Remove Email Alias
Provided you are running a standard mail server, email alias entries are located in
/etc/aliases
You will want to look for the entry for the support user, which looks like this:
support: '|php -q /var/www/html/cron/gateway.php billing.domain.com 1'
You can delete the entry, and run
newaliases
as the root user to commit the change.
Create a Database Dump
You can create a dump of your MySQL database by executing
mysqldump --opt --quote-names -u ubersmith -p ubersmith > ubersmith_backup.sql
This assumes your database is called ubersmith and is accessed by the ubersmith user. You may want to examine the file config.ini.php (usually located one directory above the directory Ubersmith is installed under) to determine what credentials are being used to access your Ubersmith database.
Copy the database dump over to the new host, using whatever method you prefer (scp, sftp, ftp, rsync, etc.)
Note: Do not copy over any of the existing Ubersmith files. They are not needed.
Remove Existing License
Log into your account on
http://billing.ubersmith.com
and delete your existing instance from the License Manager.
Install the Ubersmith Database
On your new host, install the Ubersmith database, using the dump you created.
mysql -u root ubersmith < ubersmith_backup.sql
Make sure to create a MySQL user account that can access the Ubersmith database.
Setup on New Host
Download the current version of Ubersmith from
http://downloads.ubersmith.com/
to your new server. Run through the setup process as normal, however during the database configuration step specify the existing Ubersmith database.
The system will detect the existing tables in the database andperform any required database updates and registering the newinstance with the licensing system.
