Nextcloud

Upgrading from owncloud 9.0.0 to latest Nextcloud

It 2017-12 and we had been using owncloud 9.0.0 for some time on our old server. Now we wanted to migrate to Nextcloud.

Step 1

Copying everything from old server to new server

/usr/share$ tar cvfz owncloud.tgz owncloud/

1. copy the tgz file to the new server and unpack at /usr/share
2. to a mysqlump of the owncloud mysql database on the old server
3. create a new owncloud mysql database on the new server
4. use the dump to restore the data on the new server
5. copy the apache configuration from the old server to the new server and activate it
