Restore MediaCP

Last updated 1 month ago

A Backup Restoration may be required in the event of a system failure, or transfer to another server. By default Backups are stored in /backups location on your file system. The restoration process can restore backups from version 2.2.0.0 or newer.

The backup restoration will perform the following actions:

  • New installation of MediaCP Web Services (Apache, MySQL, PHP, etc)
  • New installation of Media Services (Wowza Streaming Engine, Icecast, LiquidSoap, etc)
  • Restoration of MediaCP htdocs/
  • Restoration of MediaCP Database
  • Restoration of media services content files

A Backup Restoration may be required in the event of a system failure, or transfer to another server. By default Backups are stored in /backups location on your file system. The restoration process can restore backups from version 2.2.0.0 or newer.

The backup restoration will perform the following actions:

  • New installation of MediaCP Web Services (Apache, MySQL, PHP, etc)
  • New installation of Media Services (Wowza Streaming Engine, Icecast, LiquidSoap, etc)
  • Restoration of MediaCP htdocs/
  • Restoration of MediaCP Database
  • Restoration of media services content files
The restoration process will prompt you for a custom media content path if you wish to relocate your media files to another disk during the migration.
 

Step 1: Copy the backup file to your server .

Step 2: Run the following to start the restoration software:

cd /root;rm -f init;wget http://install.mediacp.net/scripts/init;chmod +x init;./init restore

Step 3: You will be prompted for your license key.

Step 4: You will be prompted for the full path to your backup file.

Step 5: You will also be prompted to specify a location for you media content files. If you wish to leave this as default, simply press return. If you wish to install the media files to a different location, you may do so here and a symlink will be created automatically from /usr/local/mediacp/content to the new location.

Step 6: You will be prompted for the domain name for the MediaCP to be installed on

The restoration may take some time to complete.
