Migrating from small server to medium server troubles
Hi all
I have a small ebs backed lamp server running on Amazon (I am using Moodle 2.2, an e-learnng platform)
Unfortunately the small server isn't quick enough to handle moodle 2.2 (it handled 1.9 comfortably - but 2.2. is a lot more intensive) so I wanted to migrate it to a larger server.
I have backep up the small.
Stopped it.
Then tried to restore the backup to a medium server.
It looked like it was working, and I eventually got the green light.
But unfortunately when I can to try and log into webdim my root password wasn't accepted.
Any ideas what I did wrong ?

Ok, will try
Reply 1Snapshots are great for this use case
Reply 2I added the 'tklbam' tag to the forum post and will forward the message to Liraz as he'll be doing maintenance on TKLBAM soon.
In the meantime, might I suggest using snapshots? Its really simple to acheive what you want by taking a snapshot and launching a new, more powerful server based on the snapshot.
I will give it a try - thanks for the suggestion.
