Urchin Migration

I worked on a few Urchin migrations this month so I’m posting the steps. Very simple and straight forward:

1. First copy '/usr/local/urchin/data' directory from the old server to the same location on the new server.

2. On the old server, run:
/usr/local/urchin/util/uconf-export -f filename

and copy the output file to the new server

3. For a backup of the current config on the new server, run:
/usr/local/urchin/util/uconf-export -f filename

4. On the new server, run:
/usr/local/urchin/util/uconf-import -f filename

The filename should be the config from the old server, which you copied over in step 2. This should only import settings that do not already exist on the new server, so it will not overwrite any existing configuration.

Let me know if you guys have any questions or comments.
