How do I move this sub-server properly?

Help! (Home for newbies)
1

Suppose I have 2 web servers:

Web Server I (WS1)

  • Virtual server: aaa.example.com
  • Sub-server: example.org

Web Server II (WS2)

  • Virtual server: bbb.example.com
  • Sub-server: -

What is the best way to move the sub-server: example.org, from WS1 to WS2, and make it exist as a sub-server of bbb.example.com?

When I use the restore option on WS2, I get this error:

This backup cannot be restored due to the following errors : Original parent virtual server aaa.example.com does not exist

Howdy,

Since it’s a sub-server that is underneath aaa.example.com – you would first need to restore aaa.example.com on your second web server.

Once you do that, if you want to move it to a new parent, you can do so using Server Configuration -> Move Virtual Server.

Thank you for the help, Eric.

I tried it just now and I am getting stuck:

... Re-creating virtual server aaa.example.com .. .. a clash was detected : A unix user named mememe already exists - try selecting a different administration username

Both web servers have only 1 regular linux user: mememe (500).

How do I “try selecting a different administration username”?

when creating your virtual server (restoring the backup) can you choose the owner of the server?
