Hi All Blues,

Hope that someone out there has some experience in this area :)

When moving a site from one server to a new server we do the following
/usr/sbin/cmuExport -d $MGFOLDER -n $FQDN
And dump all the mysql databases and user for this site.

On the new server we import the site again and create the mysqluser and the 
databases - all this works well.

We are experiencing the following problem after importing the site:
Changes made to the sites vhost file are not copied
Do vi need to backup that file from the ols server as well
/etc/httpd/conf/vhosts/$SITENUMBER.include
and then back again on the new server but with the new sitenumber!

Subdomains (nuonce) are not moved correctly to the new server!
Entryes in /etc/httpd/conf/nuSubdomains.conf are missing
Also entries for each /vsites/*/.web.config are incorrect as the ipnumber 
and the path has changed

Users that already exist on the system can't be moved over!
Here again user (at mark) domain.com would be great!, then there would be no need to 
change userinfo and report back to the user that his or her username has 
changed.!! Less administrative work ;)
BTW: users are much better at understanding that the username is the 
email-address!
