- Follow v4.4 installation through psql section, then rsync dump file
and restore
- Continue v4.4 installation through setting up tomcat section, then
rsync apache-tomcat-7.0.57/nuxeo-server/data
- Update environment variables
- Create collectionspace-source directory, then rsync from old server
- Run build and deploy mvn commands, then "ant undeploy deploy" with
no arguments (to preserve existing data)
- start up server "$CSPACE_JEESERVER_HOME/bin/startup.sh"
- Go to website homepage
- Try to login
- Got "Connection to the Services API failed. Service layer may have
failed to start or needs to be restarted."
- tested ":8180/cspace-services/acquisitions" and got a failure
- shut down server
- rerun "ant undeploy deploy" as root from services folder; BUILD
FAILED
- added environment variables to root bash, source
- rerun "ant undeploy deploy" as root from services folder
- start up server -- same error
- shut down server
- rerun all build and deploy commands as root, both mvn and ant --
still failed

1. Install a fresh copy of CSpace on the new server. Make sure it's
accessible by a browser, and you can save records.
2. Install your customizations, if any. This means transferring over
any customizations you have in the services, application, and ui source
code directories. We store our customizations in GitHub, so I do a git
clone on the new server to install them. After building and deploying, you
should see your customizations on the new server. If you didn't customize
CollectionSpace, skip this.
3. Transfer your data. I usually rsync the nuxeo-server/data
directory to transfer binaries, and then use pg_dump to dump the postgres
databases, and restore them on the new server with pg_restore.

Hi Elayne, That error might be a problem, but I'm not sure if it would cause the services not to start. Could you attach your catalina.out and cspace-services.log logs? Delete all the logs first, then start tomcat, so you'll only have logs from that one startup.
