Moving your Host On-Demand server configuration from one server to another

You can move your Host On-Demand server configuration from one server to another. For example, if you wanted to move your Host On-Demand server configuration from server1 to server2, you must:

1. Install Host On-Demand on server2. You must install the same release level of Host On-Demand on server2 that is installed on server1. If server2 is using a web server that is not recognized by the Host On-Demand installation program, you must manually configure the web server for Host On-Demand. Refer to Planning, Installing, and Configuring Host On-Demand for more information.



2. Stop the Host On-Demand Service Manager on server2.



3. Replace the necessary files and directories on server2 with those from server1.

   This step overwrites any configuration changes made to Host On-Demand on server2 since step 1.

   
   
   
   • Copy the \private\ directory in the Host On-Demand root directory, which is \hostondemand\ by default, on server1 to the \private\ directory on server2 to move user and group configuration information to server2.
   • Copy all files and directories you have created with the Deployment Wizard from their server1 location to server2. For example, if you created test.HTML using the Deployment Wizard, copy test.HTML and Autotest.HTML in the publish directory from server1 to server2. Also copy the test directory in \HODData in the publish directory from server1 to server2.
4. Start the Host On-Demand Service Manager on server2.
