Issue #769 resolved
Aamir Kabli created an issue

Hi, I have installed piler on a desktop class machine for testing purposes. It is working perfectly fine. Now I need to move it to a server class hardware. Can you please tell me the steps to do so?

    Stop piler, and stop searchd on old host, also disable the piler cron jobs. Copy the following from old host to the new host:

    • all piler related configs, keys (piler.conf, piler.key, sphinx.conf, etc)
    • /var/piler directory
    • the piler database

    Install piler on new host with the same settings. Start searchd (not piler at this stage) and verify that everything works in the gui, you can see the emails, you can search them, users can login, etc). Start piler, and configure your mail server to send emails to new host.
