Full Version: Will this work for a site migration

I have tried the WHM move account for sites on an Ensim server but it always fails, I think because they are so large, so I will need to move them manually, however, I've never done that, anyone who says, is this a good way to do it?:

1. on old server go to /home/domain.com/var/www/html

2. tar up the entire contents of above dir

3. wget file to new server in /home/user_name/public_html

4. untar the tar file from old server

5. chown -R user:user /home/user/public_html/*

If it has no database just a lot of files, that should work right?.. Checking if anyone has experience with this before I set the tar going (it'll take a while)

Thanks.

that will copy the website files over, but nothing to do with account settings, emails, databases, etc.

If everything is setup in cpanel except site content then doing this will probably give you the results you expect.
