Editing NetHere (section)

== Migrate Website to nh5.jcihosting.net ==

Set TTL to 300 on ns1.nethere.net


Open up these web admins to get current account/site info:

http://toolbox.nethere.net/ -> Provisioning Tool (search for domain name)

https://secure.johncompanies.com/mgmt/index.html (search for col#####)


1.  Create the lamphost user.

https://www.lamphost.com/admin/user/user/create

username: col#####

email: same as listed for col##### account

password: random, secure, won't be shared with client

defaults on rest of page


2.  Create the customer account

https://nh5.jcihosting.net:8443/

LAMP Host Users -> Add User -> col#####


Virtual Hosts -> Add Virtual Host

Username: Select same username as above from pulldown

Domain: example.com

Hosting Plan: select plan that matches what's listed in https://secure.johncompanies.com/mgmt/view.html?cid=col#####

Add default DNS: No


3.  Virtual Hosts -> Site Manager (next to domain added)

Site Manager Users -> Add User

Username: can be anything - I typically use Optigold Login from nethere admin

Password: make up something secure and record - this one will go to the user


4.  Email & FTP -> Add Account

Email Account: ftp

Password: make up something secure and record - this one will go to the user

Enable FTP Access: Yes


5.  Optional: Add MySQL database if site needs it (WordPress etc)


ssh to nh5.jcihosting.net and run 'add_mysql.php <example.com>'

MySQL database info will be emailed to webmaster@lamphost.com (and output on command line - ignore instructions to run additional commands)

https://mail.lamphost.com

6.  Copy over website

Login via ssh nh5

ssh YOURLOGIN@nat.johncompanies.com
ssh root@nh5.jcihosting.net

cd /var/www/example.com/

rsync -v --archive --one-file-system --delete --delete-during --rsh=/usr/bin/ssh dsmith@unixweb-10.nethere.net:/www/www.example.com/htdocs ./

Change 'matt' to your username. Note that I had to add my username to groups httpd & webuser to allow me to copy website files without being root.

chown -R col#####:col##### htdocs


7.  If site has MySQL data find the connection info. For example, WP sites will have the info in htdocs/wp-config.php

mysqldump -h mysqldb-1.webhost.nethere.net -u username --password=password databasename > databse.sql

mysql exampledotcom < database.sql

rm database.sql


8.  If site is ready to be made live on nh5.lamphost.net then update DNS on ns1.nethere.com

Send email to client with details. Search support@jcihosting.com Sent folder for emails with Subject "updated hosting for" for example emails. You will have to adjust as needed (username/passwords, different info based on specific client).

9.  After you finish, update the johncompanies.com backend for the col0# CID and change the nethere hosting server to nh3.jcihosting.net.

10. To add a SSL certificate
        letsencrypt-create.php <domain.com>

    To remove a SSL certificate
        del-letsencrypt-certificate.php <domain.com>
