Hi Osti

As far as I remember, this is the expected behavior. What I mean is, that after migration this page is displayed and you should click "next" to continue with the actual migration.

See for example: www.smartertools.com/blog/2024/04/smartermail-for-linux-introduction

Hi Alain,

Many thanks for the response, i presumed that too, the problem I have is clicking next then pops up a red box at the bottom very quickly with access denied error and then just sits there.

Best regards

Osti

Right. Did you copy and extract the files as root on the Linux box?

Hi Osti

After a second glance at your screenshot, I have another possible theory.
Did you maybe copy all files from the Smartermail directory (including executables and such)?
I think that one article (a3691) is misleading.
Therefore mainly follow portal.smartertools.com/kb/a2724/migrate-smartermail-to-a-different-server.aspx for the migration of the data.

TLDR; Try to copy only the following:
SmarterMail\Service\Settings -> *.json files -> go to /etc/smartermail/
SmarterMail\Domains -> folders in there -> go to /var/lib/smartermail/Domains

(if you use Certificates, also copy that folder)

Probably it's best to purge and reinstall Smartermail on the Linux machine first.

Hey Alain,

I have copied the data to the correct folders, i have purged and re-installed 3 times now and I am not getting much further.

The following error appears after cliking next on my previous image

Cheers

Osti
