[SOLVED] Migrate from Debian 5 to Centos 5

[TheBraveSirRobin]

I need to migrate an Open Source Zimbra server from a 32-bit Debian 5 virtual machine to a new 32-bit Centos 5 virtual machine. Anyone successfully migrated ZCS Open Source between distributions ? If so, any useful advice or HOWTOs ?

BTW I'm running 6.0.4.

Hi,

Yo can begin with this post:

Hope this helps ;-)

Thank you very much for the tip. You're very kind.


I managed to get it working but I also had to perform the following step

perl -MCPAN -e 'install Data::UUID'

before it would upgrade my transferred installation.

Discovered this morning that the web admin wasn't working. Seemed to be due to certificate errors.

I ran the installer a second time which upgraded and installed the certificates and this seemed to solve all those problems.

I then discovered that no mail was being received and realised I'd forgotten to uninstall sendmail from the new Centos box. a quick yum and everything was working how it should.

Phew !
