[Koha] Migrating from one server to another

[Lennon Mazonde]

Hi, 

 
An internal server error (500) could mean your Koha instance is either not enabled or is not running (run "koha-worker --status") in which case enable it by running "koha-enable instancename" and "koha-worker --start instancename". 

 
NB: I just checked your admin and OPAC domains and it seems like your instance is up and running. You need to complete the web installer setup and you should be good to go.

 
Best regards,

 
Lennon

Thank you.

I had earlier followed the instructions at http://kohageek.pbworks.com/w/page/60452540/How%20to%20move%20your%20koha%20database%20to%20newly%20installed%20Koha and got an unbranded internal server error at https://library.cjshayward.com and a Koha branded internal server error at https://library-intra.cjshayward.com.

Since then (this may have been the equivalent of asking for my tea with cream and lemon) I ran the script you mentioned and https://library.cjshayward.com redirects to https://library.cjshayward.com/cgi-bin/koha/maintenance.pl.

A few questions:

1: Have I messed up the system by trying to migrate both ways?

2: Would it likely be less energy to fix the system I have or start over? Would it make sense to do an aptitude purge for koha and then reinstall, or should I be trying a less surgical approach.

3: How can I get useful diagnostics? When I got the earlier 500 error, /var/log/apache2/error.log wasn't getting anything on additional attempted page load.

I now have on the system the koha.sql created at http://kohageek.pbworks.com/w/page/60452540/How%20to%20move%20your%20koha%20database%20to%20newly%20installed%20Koha.


Thanks,

Have a look at the 'koha-migrate' script - I originally wrote it to migrate several Koha MariaDB databases running on a Ubuntu (20.04LTS) server to Amazon Aurora MySQL on AWS but it should work for other use-cases. There are several other scripts there you might find useful as well. As always, test them in a dev environment before running them on your production server :)
