Imported customers/domains ? how to recreate directories?

[willydee]

Hello all,

 

I'm about to migrate a rather large server from a SysCP installation on Debian 6 to froxlor on Ubuntu 15. Most of the database content could be dropped, except the core tables: customers, domains, mailboxes, etc. For that purpose, I've written an SQL script to transform the data I need to migrate. Works well so far. But one issue remains: is it possible to trigger the recreation of all the directories in /var/customer/(webs|mail|tmp)/? Copying all of it over from the old server would work, but ownership would need to be set manually, which is tedious at best, error prone at worst. 

Suggestions?

 

Best regards,

willydee

transfer the WHOLE froxlor database (if you do not intend to transfer customer-databases, you can empty the table panel_databases), permission stuff for the filesystem is all in there (uid/gid). Then use rsync with archive parameter to transfer the old data, which preserves permissions and ownership.

There is no Froxlor database to transfer; as I've said, it's a SysCP managed host. The file system layout is much different, as is the database structure.

So upgrade syscp to froxlor then... You'd need an older froxlor for this though.
