 |
|
Hello,
I moved the hostmonitor program to a different server (from Win10 Prof to WinServer 2008 R2) but I don't get the alarm settings and email server settings copied over.
And I'm afraid that other settings were not copied over successfully too.
I tried the move with this how-to:
http://www.ks-soft.net/cgi-bin/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=1099
I've tried both options (Move and new-installation) and also copied all files from the C:\programdata\HostMonitor too.
Still the alarm settings are missing on the new server.
What am I missing?
Thx
I. |

Have you copied ALL files (*.HML, *.LST, *.INI) before you start HostMonitor?
or you copied some files, start HostMonitor, close it, then copied other files?
What folder used for config files on new system?
Regards

I tried it again:
1. Installed Ver. 10.20 fresh on new system and did not start the program
2. copied files from the C:\Program Files (x86)\HostMonitor folder (2 *.lst and 2 *.ini files, no *.hml files)
3. copied all files/folders from C:\ProgramData\HostMonitor into the C:\Program Files (x86)\HostMonitor folder on the new system
Do I rather copy these files into the C:\ProgramData\HostMonitor on the new server as well?
Still email server settings and alarm settings not showing up on the new server.
Thx

In most cases - yes. This is default location for configuration files.
It depends on what "Program data path" you have selected during installation. |

On modern Windows its better do not use C:\Program Files.. path for config files .
Copy config files from correct path only (C:\ProgramData in your case, I think).

What exactly files have you found there?
If you have config files at C:\ProgramData, then in C:\Program Files you may see only "redistributive" files RMA-Win\rma.ini, RMA-Win\prbypass.lst

I figured it out. The trick was to copy the rest of the files into C:\ProgramData\HostMonitor.
The help link isn't that specific about it so maybe a good hint to add it in there.
Thanks again.

Normally you have only 1 folder with config files (and we don't know exact location of this folder because you set it during installation).
Why you had 2 LST files in different folder? Have no idea. May be somebody copied files manually, may be some old-testing installation that was not removed using uninstall procedure. An any case these files was not used by HostMonitor.
