Hi Howard, how are you?
I've done before what you are planning to do now but always using the same
version of racktables.
In order to do it I did a fresh install of racktables in the new server
following the web install [1] and then I made a backup of the old database
and just dumped it into the new mysql on the new sever. It went just smooth
...
You can do the backup and restore as follows...
lucas@server_old:$ mysqldump -u root -p racktables > rt.sql
lucas@server_new:$ mysql -u root -p racktables < rt.sql
Hope it helps.
Regards,
Lucas
