How do you go about switching your gallery domain from one host to another without losing your galleries?
I am in a real dillema here.

Do a system image of your current server and then have the exact same set up on your new server so you can just image it over.
If you dont want any downtime, run an RSYNC between the two servers and then just unplug your old server and change the DNS to the new one.

if your host doesnt do it, here's a simple way....
login to the ftp, download the whole domain to your comp....
then upload to new host...then switch dns.

make sure that all data has been moved to the new server before you initiate the domain transfer..
transfer domain..
leave the data on the old server for at least 24 hours after the domain has transfered for you, just in case..
or have the server company do it.. but make damn sure that they get everything.. including databases if you have any..Comment

if he knows how to tar through ftp, including databases and any server tweaks that helped things run, then I guess it wouldOriginally posted by minusonebit
shit, show me how to tar through an ftp program, i am anxious to see that happenComment

He cant get database info from the ftp anyways. Its stored by the host on their mysql server. If he is running a php db then the host will have to compress it and put it in his ftp, or if he has phpmyadmin he can dl it that way. Id say that Oracle was right on for 90% of the server setups out there.Originally posted by JaceComment

very v ery carefully...Comment

I assumed he had shell access too, but then I forget that he is probably hosting in a shared situation and may not have a shell. I am too used to my dedicated servers and having root...Originally posted by Jace
DBs have to be dumped to a file, of course. I was more wondering about the comment about scripts not coming over. Scripts are files, should come over like any other I would think.Comment

1. backup database to a sql file. saved it inside your htdocs
2. create a same user/pass on the destination server.
3. run rsync from the destination server: (if you have ftp you should have shell if not ask for it) this will copy your domain folder (permission etc)
TAR? linux server only supports upto 2gb file, so if your domain is huge then you cant use it unless its a bsd server.

if all he has is galleries and no scripts the ftp method should be ok. I'm doing the same right now.
