First Account Restoration Complete!

Well, I got the system to where I could restore an account, and I chose GFMorris.net only because it has all my notes about the last setup of this server. It came up just fine! Huzzah.

I’m getting the backups moved to the appropriate directory so I can try to restore them via the command line. The issue is going to be the IP allocation, because all accounts start off on the main server IP, and only rocksmyfaceoff.net lives there given how I configured the server this time. Reconfiguring the IP requires WHM access, which, as stated, I don’t have at the office.

But things are looking up …

Update, 0958 CST: I dialed in to my TC from my office [rather than the conference room] and have been able to restore around half of the accounts. However, IP configurations will have to wait until I have some offsite access, but I may try to sneak home at lunch and do that if possible. I’d try it with the iPhone, but WHM uses frames, and … ugh, frames on the iPhone stink on ice.
