so i got my dedi

whitey · June 17th, 2004, 1:31 PM

I am pumped got my dedicated server...

trying to transfer my domains now, ran a backup of one of my old sites. now i need to restore it on the dedi

so I went into cpanel and tried doing the restore. something happened and it crapped out.

is there anyother way to do this? restore from server maybe? i backed it up to the dedicated server so its already on my box.

and before you say use the transfer tool, it don't work for me. support is looking into that.

support would be the ones to contact

i would just extract it and all the files and move the "/homedir" to /home and rename it to your username and then "chown username /home/username"

then do the MySQL

The back-up restore problem maybe from the fact the back-up was from a 'user account' and you are trying to back it up on a 'admin account'

So Cpanel maybe trying to back up a 'user account' for you from your 'admin-account' yet you have no user set up?

Just an educated guess. Not sure if you are running on Cpanel / WHM on your dedicated. Never had the chance myself to see the difference of Cpanel on dedicated to a shared resticted one.

i don't believe there would be in any errors with that. it just times out. uploading it, thats why I am asking if their is anyway you can just pull it off the server not your local drive.

on your old server back it up to your new server through ftp

I think it was also a Cpanel bug from that last i knew, Everone at my old host always said to never use it.
