Application Server Migration
The following steps are to migrate AquilaServer from one server to another, whilst the database remains static.
- Stop and disable existing aquilaserver service to prevent further user access.
- Install aquilaserver on new server. For further details please see Aquila Server Installation
- Copy the `AquilaServer.ini` file from the old server installation directory, to the new, in order to easily preserve your settings.
- Uninstall aquilaserver from the old server.
- Distribute the new server URL to your users, where it can be updated on the login screen.
Database Migration
The following steps are for migrating your database whilst keeping the application server in the same location:
- Ensure new server has SQL Server installed and available
- If you're using SQL Server Logins; create a new login for the AquilaServer service to connect that matches your previous installation. For more info please see Creating a SQL Server Login.
- Stop the Aquilaserver service on the application server to prevent user access.
- Backup database on old server
- Transfer & restore database to new server
- Edit the aquilaserver.ini file in the installation folder on the application server to reflect the new database location
- Restart the AquilaServer service.
