Moving ejabberd to a new host

Hello everyone,

I am new using ejabberd, i managed to install the service in my machine as the server in the company i work for, now the boss asked me to migrate the ejabberd service to a virtual machine we had in another server.

The thing is that i cant find online how to do it and im needing some help with this.

My PC is running fedora 21 and the VM is running centos 7 (shouldn't be any problem as both are rhel).

Can you guys give me a hand with this?

Thanks a lot!

Install the same ejabberd

Install the same ejabberd version in the new machine. Copy the configuration files, cert file, and most importantly, the mnesia spool dir. Then start ejabberd. If mnesia complains about node name not neing the same, then set in ejabberdctl.cfg the one used in the old ejabberd deployment.

Once all works well, you can update ejabberd to a new version.
