To move Group-Office to another server you need to backup all data files and the database.
Note: All the directories here are examples. They are probably different in your case.
Determine where the data files are stored:
$ cat config.php | grep file_storage_path $config['file_storage_path']='/home/groupoffice/';
Now create archives of these paths (It might be that the local path is inside the Group-Office scripts directory. In that case you can skip the creation of the local archive):
$ tar czf groupoffice-files.tar.gz /home/groupoffice
This command outputs the database parameters:
$ cat config.php | grep db $config['db_type']='mysql'; $config['db_host']='localhost'; $config['db_name']='groupoffice'; $config['db_user']='groupoffice'; $config['db_pass']='password';
Now create a dump of the database:
$ mysqldump --default-character-set=utf8 groupoffice -u groupoffice -p > groupoffice-20070813.sql
You might want to compress this file to save bandwidth:
$ tar czf groupoffice-database.tar.gz groupoffice-20070813.sql
Now we've packed up all necessary files in archives:
- groupoffice-files.tar.gz
- groupoffice-database.tar.gz
Installing the backup on the new server
First install the Debian packages or follow the manual installation for Group-Office.
Then replace the Group-Office files and database with your backups. It's probably useful to install PhpMyAdmin so you can empty the default "groupoffice-com" database on Debian easily.
Now you need to run http://some_url_to_groupoffice.com/install/ and follow instructions to complete the install.
Good luck!
