You can relocate iFolder services and the iFolder data in the Simias Store from one iFolder server to another, such as if you want to migrate to a more powerful system.
NOTE:This procedure is not applicable for the iFolder 2.x servers.
Notify users that the iFolder server is going down.
Stop iFolder services. As a root user, enter the following command at the terminal console:
/etc/init.d/apache2 stop
Use your normal file system backup procedures to back up the following data:
Simias store directory
The default location is /var/simias/data/simias.
Apache config files for iFolder
The default location is /etc/apache2/conf.d and contain the following files:
simias.conf
ifolder_admin.conf (if available)
ifolder_web.conf (if available)
Install and configure iFolder on the target server, using the same configuration information and location as on the old computer, including the IP address.
In a terminal console on the target server, run ifolder-admin-setup and ifolder-web-setup to generate public keys in the server.
On the target server, use your normal file system restore procedures to restore the following data to its original locations:
Simias store directory
The default location is /var/simias/data/simias.
On the target server, copy the apache config files for iFolder to /etc/apache2/conf.d if it is not already available.
Start iFolder services. As a root user, enter the following command at the terminal console:
/etc/init.d/apache2 start
Notify users that the server is back up.
Disconnect the original server from the network, then uninstall iFolder to remove iFolder software and the iFolder data. Make sure to reconfigure its IP address before using it on the network again.
NOTE:You must ensure that the datapath (simias store directory) on source server and destination server is the same and iFolder server datapath is not changed while moving the iFolder data.
