Search Again: Re: Replacing a server running QDNS Central From: Men & Mice Support Date: Saturday, June 12, 2004 Time: 1:37:20 pm Sorry, there were some errors in the steps given before. I should have had you stop the services before untarring the archive, and then restart them after. I also should have had you stop QuickDNS Central on the old server before creating the archive. Lastly, the /var/qdns/qdnscentral directory is probably only readable by the root user. Assuming you still have the old server with the data still on it, do the following on the old server: sudo -s /Library/StartupItems/QuickDNS/qdnsc stop tar czvf ~/quickdns.data.tgz -C /var named qdns exit Then copy quickdns.data.tgz from the old server to the new server. Execute these commands on the new server: sudo -s /Library/StartupItems/QuickDNS/QuickDNS stop tar xzvC /var -f ~/quickdns.data.tgz /Library/StartupItems/QuickDNS/QuickDNS start exit ____________________________________________________________________ Chris Buxton Men & Mice Customer Support Specialist Making DNS Easy At 3:46 PM -0400 6/12/04, Karl Schroll wrote: >I have been trying to get this new server running, and have >installed Central and Remote, and followed this process outlined. >However, when I connect with the Manager, none of the zones are >showing up. > >Any ideas? > >At 11:41 AM -0700 6/11/04, Men & Mice Support wrote: >>Copy the following directories to the new server.
