Overview

The following is information on how to perform a system migration. Please note, however, that it is important to first contact Axcient Support so that we can assist with this process.  

Instructions

To prepare for the migration:

1. Stop the PostgreSQL 9.1 service and stop the x360Sync Server service.
2. Copy your entire PostgreSQL9.1 folder (default location is C:\PostgreSQL9.1) and both your File Store and DB Store to the new machine. Your file store was chosen during system setup and your DB store is located by default in C:\x360Sync Server\store_1. For example, you might copy: 
   - C:\PostgreSQL9.1\
   - C:\x360Sync Server\store_1\
   - D:\User defined file store\
3. Make sure that your PostgreSQL9.1 folder and your x360Sync Server folder are placed on a drive letter and path that matches your previous installation (for example, C:\). We recommend that you place your file store in a path that matches your previous installation (for example, D:\) since changing this will require modification of the PostgreSQL9.1 database.
4. Create a user in Windows with the same username and password of the PostgreSQL user. Then, give this user Full Control to PostgreSQL 9.1 folder before attempting the install.
   
   Note: Your PostgreSQL user password is listed in the [portal] section of your x360Sync config.ini file ([target drive]:\x360Sync Server\conf\config.ini).
   
   
5. Install the x360Sync Server; it should detect the PostgreSQL9.1 database. Select, Yes, I would like to use the existing database and complete your installation.
6. If you had previously configured SSL for WebDAV or Apache, copy your previous SSL certificates over to the new server. For example: 
   - C:\Apache24\conf\* 
   - C:\x360Sync Server\conf\*
7. Restart the x360Sync Server service, attempt to connect to localhost, and attempt to upload files to the web portal. If all of these steps are successful, your migration is complete.
8. You can now point the DNS record from the old server to the new server.
