Thanks!

I have been going off of the Migration document you recommend using the section for Manual Migration. It describes exporting data and backing up certain files. Somehow I interpreted it to mean I could do what I tried. And, I was using split horizon dns without knowing what it is called.

Thank you for educating me!

The mail migration script needs to run off of the original drive, you can either mount your old server in target disc mode onto your new hardware. If your performing an upgrade then you should not just copy the /usr/bin/cyrus/bin/ directory to another hard drive, this will never work because the permissions have changed and the Apple migration script looks in the database, and the database in turn references other directories you really should either install on a clean hard drive and import from the old hard drive, or use carbon copy cloner to clone the drive to another drive then run the script.

I understand that your mailstore was on another drive, I did that too without looking at your setup I would guess that the /usr/bin/cyrus/ folder you copied might be empty indeed. You can check the exact path in Server Admin if your old server is still operational. You should also reference this document and read it carefully. http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/Migration_v10.6.pdf it answers a lot of your questions. Good luck and thanks for commenting!

Also, I cannot seem to get the migration script to run. I have copied the /usr/bin/cyrus/bin directory to an external drive, and referenced it in my script. But it comes back with an error stating “Error: cvt_cyrusdb does not exist in: .”
I know the file is in the directory. My original server setup was using an external volume to keep the mail store. Is it possible that the /cyrus/bin folder is also in a different location than normal?

Thanks!
