[Users] Blank web page after database migration

This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --------------070507000700030702090908 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed I followed the instructions from the following URLs http://www.ovirt.org/User:Adrian15/oVirt_engine_migration http://www.ovirt.org/Backup_engine_db I backed up and restored the certificates and the configuration without any issues. But the DB restore in the first set of instructions did not work for me. So I used the method in the second document to backup and restore the DB. I wasn't able to perform the "Update encrypted password" step in the first document, because that script does not exist. However, further down the document, it states that, "You can avoid this editing by choosing same password at both managers (old one and new one". So I am assuming I am OK there. Not enough information to know that, though. The issue I'm having is that, when I browse into the new controller, the page loads, but it's completely blank. No errors or anything. All the services seem to be running normally on the controller. I feel like I'm close.

I did not follow closely the above links. They might miss some files/settings. You can try using engine-backup. On the source machine do: engine-backup --mode=backup --file=backup1 --log=backup1.log Copy backup1 to the target machine, then: 1. Create a database. 'engine-backup --help' for help with this, as well as e.g. [1] 2. engine-backup --mode=restore --file=backup1 --log=backup1-restore.log If the created database has different credentials, you'll need to pass also --change-db-credentials --db-host=HOST --db-user=USER --db-name=NAME --db-password 3. engine-setup. This will do various cleanups and fixes that engine-backup does not do. 4. It does not set postgresql and websocket-proxy to start on boot, so you'll need to do that manually (chkconfig or systemctl) if you want that. As explained before, this was intended to be done only with identical versions on source and target machines.
