Trouble moving OC installation to new server

Server
1

Hi,

Please excuse me if this is the wrong forum and/or if the post is wrongly formatted, but anyway..

I am trying to move my current owncloud deployment to a new server;

Turn of apache, dump database, rsync over everything to the new server that has the same packages installed.

When I then try to access the new server, I get this in the logs:

{"reqId":"Trv3qFWklRAe4X7gV2qR","level":3,"time":"2018-05-09T08:52:55+02:00","remoteAddr":"192.168.30.47","user":"--","app":"PHP","method":"GET","url":"/index.php","message":"file_get_contents(/var/www/owncloud/core/js/core.json): failed to open stream: No such file or directory at /var/www/owncloud/lib/private/legacy/template.php#155"}

Any pointers?

Thanks!

Hi,

can you give more info about your setup?

OC version would be a good start

Can you make sure the new migrated files have the correct permissions?

5

Catalogues:
drwxr-xr-x

Files:
-rw-r--r--

Exact same permissions as the working environment.
The user is www-data, like the working environment.

Okay - stupid question - can't you just copy the missing files from the old installation to the new one?

Sorry but I am all out of Ideas :slight_smile:

Probably bevor copying them, are those files really missing?

Should not rsync take care of that?
rsync -Chavz remoteserver:/path/to/catalogue /path/to/local

I will try doing it again, have done it many times before

Oh shit,,, I am the one who is stupid....
rsync -av should be used instead.... dont know why

10

Probably is faster if you copy the tar file and the config.php, and then untar and put the config.php in that folder

It is pretty hard to tar down a 9TB installation :slight_smile:

rsync -av did solve it!
