Move MindTouch from one server to another

    The following tutorial gives a brief overview of moving MindTouch from one server to another.

    MindTouch Virtual Machine

    In order to move MindTouch from one server to another there are a couple of steps you have to check to ensure that the environment is ready for the move.

    1. Check and see if the server you are moving the site to is on the same network as the other server.  If it isn't, this is fine, just make sure that your MindTouch is set to DHCP before you move it or assign the new static IP info before the move
    2. Stop the VM
    3. Copy the whole MindTouch VM folder.  Included in this folder will be files like Deki_Wiki_Hayes_(version)_VM.vmx, Deki_Wiki_Hayes_(version)_VM.vmdk, some log files and some other files for the VMware installation. 
    4. Move the copied folder to the new server and the Start the VM.  An box may pop up asking if you have moved or copied the VM, say that you moved it. 
    5. Once started you will be presented with an IP address to access your wiki.  If you aren't follow the troubleshooting steps here.

    These methods assume that the new machine has the same password for the root user of MySQL, right?

    No mention at all about running update-db.php or CreateDB.sh
    These instuctions are way too limited.
