Hello,

I need to change the operating system for hosting my WAPT server. More specifically, I'm migrating from Red Hat to Ubuntu. Do you have a procedure for doing this while preserving data, certificates, etc.? Is it compatible despite the differences between the two operating systems?

This post seemed to answer my questions: viewtopic.php?t=2124#:~:text=Simon%20a% ... p%C3%A9rer.
However, the URL for the procedure redirects me to the main documentation page: https://www.wapt.fr/fr/doc/waptserver-backup.html

Thank you in advance.

Hello,

Is WAPT version 2.2 supported under Ubuntu 18.04? I only see Ubuntu 20.04 listed.

Thank you in advance for your answers.

Sincerely.

Hello ng3,

For server versions, we are maintaining support for the two latest LTS versions, 20.04 and 22.04. For agents, we are maintaining more extensive support.

Regarding backup/restore, the documentation page has been renamed: https://www.wapt.fr/en/doc/wapt-server-backup.html

Regards,

Denis

Hello,

thank you for your reply. I did indeed follow this backup/restore procedure, and most of the configuration seems correct. However, my packages are not recognized.

I tried running wapt-scanpackages, but it failed.

"
$ wapt-scanpackages
Traceback (most recent call last):

raise BadZipFile("File is not a zip file")
zipfile.BadZipFile: File is not a zip file
"

When I connect to the new server via the administration console, in the packages tab I don't see any packages and I get the following message:
"TZipRead.Create: "No ZIP header found."

Thank you in advance for your help.

Have a great day/evening.

Best regards.

Hello,

the problem is solved. The file transfer wasn't complete; there wasn't enough space on the new WAPT server. After increasing the filesystem size and re-transferring the files from the wapt directory,
everything works. The procedure was flawless. Thank you.
