Sysadmin test server

means you have not transferred the maindomain.com.conf vhost file yet !

---

means you haven't properly rsync'd the files yet from Centmin Mod Site Data Migration Guide which lists a rsync dry run with -n flag which tests transfer without actual transfer and then rsync live run without -n flag in rsync -avzin so rsync -avzi to actually transfer data

that ain't right web files should be in web root at /home/nginx/domains/mymaindomain.com/public

from Sysadmin - test server what output do you get for

from live server

Code (Text):

ssh -p $port -i $HOME/.ssh/$privatekey root@$remoteip ls -lah /usr/local/nginx/conf/conf.d

from remote/new server

Code (Text):

ls -lah /usr/local/nginx/conf/conf.d

that is because rsync command excludes log directory from transfer so i need to revise instructions to change exclude from

Code (Text):

 --exclude 'domains/*/log' --exclude 'domains/*/backup'

to

Code (Text):

 --exclude 'domains/*/log/*' --exclude 'domains/*/backup/*'

Updated guide at Centmin Mod Site Data Migration Guide

 

for previous post missing log directory i revised guide at Centmin Mod Site Data Migration Guide with updated rsync commands

i.e. live run from live server

Code (Text):

cd /home
rsync -avzi --progress --stats -e "ssh -p $port -i $HOME/.ssh/$privatekey" --exclude 'domains/*/log/*' --exclude 'domains/*/backup/*' /home/nginx/ root@$remoteip:/home/nginx

then should transfer log and backup directory names themselves but exclude files within them

if you want to include log files and backup files in rsync tansfer just remove excludes

Code (Text):

cd /home
rsync -avzi --progress --stats -e "ssh -p $port -i $HOME/.ssh/$privatekey" /home/nginx/ root@$remoteip:/home/nginx

re-running command just transfers missing files so safe to do

 

that is correct viewing remote ip address only should direct to centmin mod main hostname page setup via getting started guide step 1

If you want to preview newdomain.com on new centminmod server without updating DNS, on Windows PC edit your windows HOSTS file at c:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts (see guide at Modify your hosts file | Knowledge Center | Rackspace Hosting or install Hostman app HostsMan - abelhadigital.com which can manage the file too and allows easy dns flushing when you make changes to the hosts file.

c:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts contents to preview without DNS update

Code:

centminmodserver-ip-address newdomain.com

to disable preview comment it out and flush dns for your system

Code:

#centminmodserver-ip-address newdomain.com

Hostsman app to flush dns and edit the c:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts file

Then visit your domain name should hit new/remote server. If you use browser dev tools network tab with remote ip column enabled, you can verify whether domain access is hitting live server ip or remote/new server ip

 

Excellent to hear. I bet it feels great when you accomplish and learn something new

Remember the advice to keep on practicing this site migration skill.

 

what did you set for these values are for your remote server not source live server

Code (Text):

remoteip=111.222.333.444
port=22
comment=mykey
remoterootpass=yourremoteserver_rootpassword

BEFORE running keygen.sh ?
if you changed remote server sshd port, you need to edit source live server's /etc/csf/csf.conf TCP_OUT and TCP6_OUT comma separated list of IPs to add the remote custom sshd port to whitelisting and whitelist the IP of remote on live server and whitelits live server IP on remote server.

 

i see

databases can be transferred individually and recommended that way if it's on the fly importing into remote server's mysql - less chance of timeouts.

 

that means php-fpm not installed on server. Is this a fresh 123.09beta01 install within past 24hrs ? if so you might have ran into the complications and issues with EPEL uw-imap-devel and libc-client rpm packages outlined at CentOS 7.x - Fix for Error: Package: uw-imap-devel-2007f-4.el7.1.x86_64 (@epel) which caused php-fpm to not be installed.

If it's a test server new remote just setup and you want to practice the transfer one more time, then best to reload test remote server OS and try a fresh centmin mod 123.09beta01 install which now has the fix Beta Branch - CentOS 7 workaround fix for EPEL uw-imap-devel & libc-client issues. Then re-try your transfer process to new remote test server again. Think of it as a more practice

 

just use sftp with root user to download backups of your site files and database via your ftp/sftp client

 

on clone site server post install log

You'll need to post on the forums with the following info

• Server or VPS details ? XEN, KVM, OpenVZ, VMWare or dedicated server ? OS ? CentOS 6.7 or 7.2 ? 32bit or 64bit ?
• What version of Centmin Mod ? .07 stable or 08 stable or .09 beta01 or another branch version ?
• Was it fresh install or upgrade ?
• Method of install ? Via centmin.sh menu option 1, Git install or curl one liner install as outlined at centminmod.com/download.html ?
  
• How long ago did you install Centmin Mod ?
• There's numerous code changes, bug fixes over time, so ensure you have latest Centmin Mod code installed by upgrading your Centmin Mod code as instructed below.

Troubleshooting Initial Install

To troubleshoot initial installation, you need to check the initial install log at /root/centminlogs and instructions under Sharing logs and errors heading for using Pastebin.com or Gists to share a sanitised version of the contents of the initial install log. You can see full details at How to troubleshoot Centmin Mod initial install issues

Example list /root/centminlogs files in date ascending order and grep for install.log

Code (Text):

ls -lahrt /root/centminlogs | grep install.log

example output returns install log at /root/centminlogs/centminmod_1.2.3-eva2000.09.001_111016-112321_install.log

Code (Text):

ls -lahrt /root/centminlogs | grep install.log
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 2.2M Oct 11 01:40 centminmod_1.2.3-eva2000.09.001_111016-112321_install.log

in SSH use cat to ouput contents of /root/centminlogs/centminmod_1.2.3-eva2000.09.001_111016-112321_install.log. Clear your SSH client window/buffer so only output is the contents of the file

Code (Text):

cat /root/centminlogs/centminmod_1.2.3-eva2000.09.001_111016-112321_install.log

Then copy and paste into Pastebin.com or Gists entry. If your SSH window scroll buffer isn't that large to get the whole contents of the install log, you can download file manually and copy and paste contents. But makes sure it's sanitised version of the contents of the initial install log as outlined at How to troubleshoot Centmin Mod initial install issues
