Procedure for migrating HostBill enterprise version onto new server / reinstalling enterprise version without data loss.

 

1. Login to your HostBill server as root. Proceed to HostBill includes directory:

cd /home/hostbill/public_html/includes/

2. Check database name to create dump of:

 cat config.php | grep db_name

Sample return: >$db_name = '1408513157';

3. Copy database name, create dump

 mysqldump 1408513157 > /root/hbdump.sql

4. If you have some customizations done already or modules uploaded, backup public_html folder

  cd /home/hostbill/public_html/
  cp includes/config.php includes/config.php.backup
  tar -zcvf /root/hostbill.publichtml.tgz --exclude='config.php'
Note: Consider creating backups of /home/hostbill/attachments and /home/hostbill/downloads folders, if you use support plugin and downloads section in clientarea already

5. Store /root/hbdump.sql and /root/hostbill.publichtml.tgz in secure place or upload it to your new HostBill install server

6. (Re)install HostBill enterprise using installation command you have received after purchasing HostBill.

Note

 Note: Make sure to start with clean centos install!

7. On fresh install get new database name:

  cd /home/hostbill/public_html
  cat includes/config.php | grep db_name

Sample return: >$db_name = '1408513158';

8. Apply sql backup to new database

 mysql 1408513158 < /root/hbdump.sql

9. Apply public_html backup onto fresh install

   tar -zxvf /root/hostbill.publichtml.tgz -C /home/hostbill/public_html/

10. From /home/hostbill/public_html/includes/config.php.backup copy value of $ccEncryptionHash and paste into config.php file:

   cat /home/hostbill/public_html/includes/config.php.backup | grep ccEncryptionHash >> /home/hostbill/public_html/includes/config.php


Final steps:

  • Verify ownership of files in /home/hostbill/public_html, make sure those match owner of /home/hostbill target dir (usually hb_XXXXXXX)
  • After re-install directory of your HostBill license will change, which will cause license issue. Update license directory in https://hostbillapp.com/clientarea/ after fresh install
  • No labels
