If you had any authentication plugins installed on the old site... make sure that you also install them on the new site.
Migrate mysql database to mariadb
16 days later
Good evening everyone, another question: everything worked out in the test version. Now I started transferring the live database, did the same thing, but it says that the system is offline, how can I turn it on if I can’t access it through the admin panel in the browser?
I have already tried the options to enable via mysql UPDATE ost_config SET isonline='1'; and update ost_config SET value='1' WHERE key=isonline, no errors occurred and the system is still offline
You should be logging in as an Administrator. It could be that there is an Upgrade pending which puts the system Offline and requires an Administrator to login and run the Upgrader.
Cheers.
Good evening, I'm completely confused. It turns out I installed a new ubuntu server and installed everything that osticket required. If I create a new database, then through setup I create a new file ost-config.php and everything works fine. But I need a database from the old server, I import it to the new server in mysql, in the ost-config.php file I write the name of the database where I imported the old database in advance. I will provide in ost-config.php the login and password that root has in mysql. But still the database does not connect. It says the system is not available. I'm trying to enter logins and passwords from the old server but it doesn't work. I also tried to create a new administrator user through mysql, but I also can’t log into scp through the browser.
I'm at a dead end and can't understand what exactly I'm doing wrong, don't judge strictly, I just recently started learning Linux.
I log in through http://my ip, it says the system is not accessible, but when I go to http://my ip/scp it asks me to enter a login and password, but to my regret, not a single login and password is suitable and does not log in, maybe you can tell me how Correctly, through the command line or mysql, give or create an administrator user so that I can log into scp. Thank you for your answers and help.
You don’t install and use that new installs config file. You simply unpack and place the new codebase on the new server (do not install), and as I mentioned before you copy the old config file, place it in the include/ folder on the new setup, import your database on the new server, and modify the config file to update any MySQL info that has changed (if any).
Be sure that in MySQL you set the new user you created to use mysql_native_password as the new MySQL authentication method doesn’t work with osTicket.
Cheers.
KevinTheJedi but by the way, I changed the password of the new user using the new system, maybe that’s why it doesn’t work. and the new user needs to be registered in the database or, for example, root who logs into mysql will suffice

Do you mean you changed the MySQL user password? If so then update that in the config file.
If you mean you changed the Agent password then did you do that before or after you dumped the database? If you changed it after dumping then that means the new password is not included in the dump file so you will need to use the old password to login on the new system.
Also, you can use root MySQL user but it’s not recommended long-term and definitely not recommended for production use.
Cheers.
