Hi Everyone,
I need some assistance in migrating Solarwinds Web Help Desk from our internal Windows 2012 server to another windows 2012 server.
The server I am trying to migrate to is an Amazon EC2 windows server.
I use MySQL as our database source and NOT PostgresSQL.
Here is what I have done thus far:
- On the Source server:
- Stopped Web Help Desk
- Dumped the "whd.sql" file to a Dropbox folder. (This dump file includes the data. 812MB file)
- Copied the "C:\Program Files\WebHelpDesk\conf" folder to Dropbox
- Copied the "C:\Program Files\WebHelpDesk\bin\wrapper\conf" folder to Dropbox
- Start Web Help Desk
- On the Target Server:
- Installed the same version Web Help Desk.
- Stopped Web Help Desk
- Created a new database, "whd.sql" using PHPMYADMIN. (Note, at this time the database is still empty)
- Downloaded the "whd.sql" file from dropbox to c:\whdbackup\
- Opened the mysql console and ran the following:
- use whd
- source c:/whdbackup/whd.sql
- Waited until the import completed
- Exit
- Logged back into PHPMYADMIN and verified the data existed in the new whd.sql database. Success.
- Replaced the "C:\Program Files\WebHelpDesk\conf" folder with the one from Dropbox
- Replaced the "C:\Program Files\WebHelpDesk\bin\wrapper\conf" folder with the one from Dropbox
- Started Web Help Desk.
- Opened browser, Chrome and navigated to 127.0.0.1:8081
- Web Help Desk wizard started. This is where my problem starts. I enter all the relevant details but can't go any further. The buttons dont seem to work. See screenshot below:
Not sure where I went wrong. But any assistance would be appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Stephan
