I try to migrate a TS3 server from an UNIX server to another one, but after putting the ts3server.sqlitedb file, I cannot connect to my server.
I try to look at the DB, but there is nothing about IP or things like that. Ports are opened, and renaming or deleting this file makes the server great again.
I started looking on Google, people just say to copy the file, without any edit.
Do you have a idea ?
Thanks !
EDIT :
The problem was about the licence.
In the DB file, there are like 50+ rooms, so a licence is needed. Transferring as well the licence makes the server works just fine.

We had a company that developed a website for us, for a large amount of money. When the site was done we wanted to put it up on GoDaddy's hosting and the company said that it wouldn't work on GoDaddy and that we would have to leave it on their hosting servers at a cost of $300/mo, they say that because they have custom-built software that allows the customer to edit the website, that looks just like Joomla's editor. I am about 90% sure that the website was built with Joomla. I have built many websites, none with Joomla, so my question is, I want them to just give us the website files and database that we paid for, so we can go to another hosting company with our website that is a lot cheaper $25/mo. So what files do I ask the company for that developed the website to make sure we have all the correct files to transfer the website to another hosting company?
They are being very difficult to work with so I just want to make sure I know what files to ask for.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
A Joomla install consists of files and the database so you need to ask for the files (probably as a zip file or similar) and an export of the database.
You can then restore the files and database on the destination server.
You will need to update the configuration.php file with the new database host, database name, database user and database password once you have restored the files to the destination host.
Alternatively you could ask for an Akeeba Backup file if they are using Akeeba Backup (which most Joomla website owners do). Akeeba backups up files and the database into one convenient compressed backup file which makes it easy to restore to the destination using the free Kickstart install tool.
Browsing certain urls can help verify if they are using Joomla. For example:
/administrator/manifests/files/joomla.xml
/index.php?option=com_content
/index.php?option=com_users&view=login
/index.php?option=com_search&view=search
Intro:
I have 2 folder on my ftp, one for my main website and one for the dev website.
Question:
If I run a ssh command into my magentoroot\dev\shell folder, should I worry about consequences on my main website?
thx
Not really. Unless the two site use the same database
Please, note in case you need to work on development website. You need a separate database and file system. If database in common there must be possibility of configuration change while working in admin or while performing operations and installation of new extension. So, always try different database for staging and production website
Perhaps someone can share their experience or advise on how to get this accomplished.
I have looked around and found only a wiki entry dealing with server migration from host to host.
Here is the setup and things I have tried:
locally I am running win 10 with XAMPP server
hosted on hostgator
Downloaded all files from live site
Did an SQL dump/import onto my local mySQL
Edited ‘exp_sites’ for paths and URLs
Edited ‘config.php’ in system folder
Result:
- can not login into backend ...that is form refreshes but no redirect. I can tell that db is being queried since since I do get error back if it is a wrong password.
Anyone has done similar setups/downloads/takve-overs of their client’s site?
Ideally, I would just like the access to CP so I can edit the settings/paths of weblogs,uploads etc.
Thanks for your time!
Are you using CI default password library for password creation? If you are using then these passwords will not work for you because this library generate server dependent passwords.
I have a Joomla 1.5 site on my localhost. It's hosted on a public hosting server as well.
I was wondering what is the best way to do incremental updates to the site? I mean I don't want to update the whole site, if I just changed one source file (html, php, images, etc) or made changes to the database. I understand, to be safe I'd have to update the database every time (export from local and import in remote), but I'm sure we can avoid unnecessary uploads of unchanged files.
I've seen https://www.akeebabackup.com and it doesn't offer what I need. One option is to use an ftp client (like Filezilla) which does folder synchronizations, but I'm not sure they work very well.
For database you could use master-master replication, which is quite easy to set up but you need GRANT privileges in MySQL, which most likely won't be possible on a shared hosting. I'd also suggest connection both machines via VPN to make it more secure.
The other easy way to sync databases is "Synchronisation" tool if you're using phpmyadmin.
If not, look at any MySQL planning software like MySQL Workbench, which also has this feature built-in.
You didn't tell what privileges you have to access the public hosting server.
If you're an admin you can have SVN admin installed and configured to sync files with your local data.
You can also have a GIT repository to do exactly the same, or LDAP set-up via VPN to keep your files in sync.
If you're not an admin just see or ask your hosting company what's of the above is available, I'm sure they'll be able to help you. Nowadays, hosting companies have SVN or GIT installed, which should be what you need.
I often use SVN tools built-in PHP Designer 8, but you can have SVN, GIT and many more also in NetBeans.
I tried and installed the JA Blazes quick start template (which includes all the modules and extensions, as shown in their live demo) for Joomla 1.5 on my local server and all worked perfectly well, but when I installed it on my domain server, the install sample data fails. I do see the DB being updated, but the installation just never ends. The installation of sample data goes on forever. Is there a way I can figure out if something went/is-going wrong ?
Thanks in advance..
Sounds to me like the connection with the db server is timing out.
If you can work out where the sql files are stored within the distribution (usually /installation/sql/ ) you could insert the sql manually using phpMyAdmin or from the command line.
If the demo installed fine on your local machine there is no need to 'install' it at all on the remote server.
FTP all of the files up to the server.
Use phpMyAdmin locally to export the database
Use phpMyAdmin on the remote server to import the backed up sql.
Finally edit the configuration.php file with the database details and paths for the remote server.
A final alternative would be to utilise Akeeba Backup or similar to package up the site and move it from local to remote. This is a fantastic tool that works around most memory limits and other annoyances on shared hosting.
