Moving a Lyris List Manager Installation to a New Machine
If you have Lyris List Manager running on one machine, and want to move the entire installation to a new machine, please follow these steps:
* Shut down your Lyris List Manager.
* Backup your entire Lyris List Manager directory (always a good precaution).
* Install Lyris List Manager on the new machine, using the standard Lyris List Manager distribution. Once you get the first web interface page up on your web browser, which reads, "Thank you for
installing Lyris List Manager", you can stop -- you do not need to do any configuration at this time.
* Shut down the Lyris List Manager server on the new machine.
* Copy the contents of the Lyris List Manager 'db' directory from your old machine to your new machine. On Windows, this directory is located in c:\lyris\db and on Unix it is located in
/opt/lyris/bin/db
* Start your new Lyris List Manager back up.
* Use the web interface to go to the "server admin" menu, and edit any sites you have, so that the "host name" field for each site is the name of the new machine that you moved Lyris List Manager to.
You're done!
