Create the domain, use the xanthus main domain account as the ftp user.

Add the email users, forwarding etc. in Plesk

Websites and databases are backed up onto eies.org at 1am NY time. Early morning is a good time to move, otherwize, if you think the database may be out of date, do a mysqldump outto yourdatabasename.sql on xanthus.net and type:

rsync -av mydatabasename.sql eies.org::xanthus/tmp/mysql

To get a fresh copy of the website, if necessary, from xanthus.net you can type on xanthus.net:

rsync -av /usr/www/htdocs/domainame eies.org::xanthus/usr/www/htdocs

update website on eies.org from xanthus.net backup

old way

cd ~domain.com/httpdocs
chown -R domainaccount:psacln /xdocs/domainaccount
rsync -va /xdocs/domainaccount/. .

this does not set the correct ownership for files owned by the server the shortcut command to do it the new way is:

cpdomain xanthusname [eiesname]

cd ~username/httpdocs vi configure.php (and/or other configuration files)

change the root directory to new location (pwd), the database info, etc., as necessary.

MySQL Databases

Create any required databases in Plesk, create the database user and use the command

dbload dbuser password [fromdatabase] [todatabase]

from the command line use the mysql command (or phpMyAdmin?) to load the databases from the backups in /home/backup/xanthus.net/tmp/mysql
