Transfer site from server1 /home/ to server2 /home2/

[Felipe Quiroz Sandoval]

Transfer sites from server1 with /home/ default home folder to a new server2 with /home2/ default folder.

The question is: What happend with the php scripts on sites with full path pointing to /home/username/...?

I did the same few days ago. My server created symlinks in /home pointing to the user on /home2 and I havent had any problems yet.

if you are using the WHM transfer tool, it should automatically take care of this when your homedir is on home2

if you are manually moving it via ftp you would need to take care of scripts to be updated.
you can find all files which have home path reference and then edit them to fix it.

Hello,

Does /home link to /home2 on the destination server? You can check this with a command such as:

stat /home

Thank you.
