Moving existing self hosted installation to Azure

deon42

I'm looking for some advice on moving a self hosted on prem OST installation from a dedicated Ubuntu 20.04 LAMP server to a existing Azure Ubuntu 20.04 LAMP server currently running a WEB site. I would like to share the one host with the existing WEB site and add the OST instance to it. I have root access to both servers and MySQL DB's. We currently use /var/www/html as the root for the existing site as we did not expect to add more sites to this server. I'm comfortable in backing up the files and DB and restoring in on the Azure box, but I'm censured about configuring Apache and OST not to break the existing site and getting OST to work off a new location.

You need to setup virtual host on your Azure Ubuntu 20.04, where you would copy your osticket to it, something like /var/www/osticket

Once you have your virtual host working then just copy your osticket installation directory to /var/www/osticket

Backup and restore your osticket database
