Hi, sorry if this is a very simple request, I am new to this server jazz.
Is there a simple way to import old logs into a newly installed Urchin?
(sites were moved from an old server).
Clients don't want to log into the old server to get historic stats and load Urchin on the new server for current stats.

I am running Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 3 (Taroon Update 5) and Urchin 5.

cheers

How did you import sites, via Ensim backup? Logs should be intact.

It is very simple to migrate urchin to another server.


First what you want to do is goto and download your copy of urchin. Then upload it to the new server via your favorite ftp client. Run through a basic install. ssh into your old server and goto your urchin install directory. In my case this was /usr/local/urchin . Tar the data folder up.
#tar -cvmf data.tar data

ftp it up to the new server:
#ftp newserver.com
It will ask your for your user/pass , just put those in.
then transfer the file:
#put data.tar

now ssh to the new server once again. move the data folder to somewhere for backup. i moved it to /root.
untar the file we transfered and move it to your urchin install directory
#tar -zxv data.tar; mv data /usr/local/urchin
login to your urchin admin section with your old username / password. it will say your license is invalid. copy the license number down.
now you will need to login to your ev1 member section and put in a support ticket to reset this license so you can reactivate it.
Once Ev1 has reset the license just login and activate it and your good to go.

This was from another post on this forum. Thank Gary from t o t a l s e r v e r s o l u t i o n s . c o m

1, i didn't use ensim backup, i might try that now on the new box

2, Cheers for this.
The only issue i can see is that i have already set up urchin on the new box and its beem running fine for more than a month, i was hoping to merge the two sets of stats if that were possible.

You could always see if the urchin folks have a suggestion. I'm an awstats kinda guy. Free is good till there is no support. Urchin falls under that category in my opinion.
