You can move an Iguana server, and all its channels, from one system to another. To do this, perform the following steps:

• Ensure that your new system has a valid Iguana license. See Registering and Licensing Iguana for information on how to obtain a license on your new system.
• Stop both your old Iguana server and your new one. (See Starting and Stopping the Iguana Service for details on how to do this in the Windows environment, or see Shutting Down Iguana for details on how to do this on Unix, Linux or Mac OS X.)
• Copy all of the necessary files from your old system to your new one, as described below.

The files that you need to copy from the old system to the new system depend on the version of Iguana that you are using:

• If you are using version 4.1 or later of Iguana, you will need to copy IguanaConfiguration.xml and IguanaEnv.txt from the old system to the new one. These files are normally found in the directory in which Iguana is installed.
• If you are using version 4.0 of Iguana, you will need to copy IguanaConfiguration.xml only.
• If you are using a version of Iguana older than version 4.0, you will need to copy ChannelConfiguration.xml, ComponentVisibility.xml, AdminConfiguration.xml and UserConfiguration.xml from the old system to the new system. These files are normally found in the directory in which Iguana is installed.

	If your old Iguana server is running a version of Iguana older than version 4.0, and your new server is running Iguana 4.0 or later, delete the copy of IguanaConfiguration.xml on the new server. This ensures that when you copy ChannelConfiguration.xml, ComponentVisibility.xml, AdminConfiguration.xml and UserConfiguration.xml from the old system to the new system, the new Iguana server will obtain configuration information from these files.

• For all versions of Iguana, you will need to copy any VMD files that your channels use from the old system to the new system. On the new system, the VMD files must be in the same directories as on the old system; if this is not possible, you must edit your channels to ensure that the VMD files are accessed properly.
• If you want to preserve the logs from the old system, copy all of the files in the logs directory from the old system to the new one. By default, the logs directory is a subdirectory of the directory in which Iguana is installed. (If you are using Iguana on Windows, a different directory may have been specified when Iguana was installed. See Installing Iguana On Windows Using The Automatic Installer for instructions on how to set the logs directory when you install Iguana on Windows.)

	If you are copying log files from your old system to your new system, and these files are large, you can speed up the copying process by compressing the log files before you copy them. On the new server, you can then uncompress the copied files.

After you have copied all of the necessary files to the new system, you can start Iguana on the new system. See Starting and Stopping the Iguana Service for instructions on how to start Iguana in the Windows environment, or see Deploying Iguana on Unix, Linux and Mac OS X for instructions on how to start Iguana in these environments.
