Overview

You would like to migrate your existing on-premise installation of Lyris LM to the AWS cloud by cloning your existing installation, rather than Migrating Lyris LM to a New Installation. This article will only guide you on reconfiguring your cloned instance once it has been cloned and transported to an AWS instance. 

Solution

Update the Lyris LM IP Configuration and the Lyris LM Database Configuration.

Lyris LM IP Configuration

1. Open the ListManager web server configuration file in a text editor
   ...{ListManager}\lm113bx2k12\tclweb\bin\tclhttpd.rc
   
   
2. Make sure these configuration entries are correct:
   Config ipaddr        {}
Config https_ipaddr  {}
   These should either be empty as above to use any available IP address or specify the local IP address for the host. For more information on the configuration refer to the documentation
   
   
3. Check Machine IPs:
   
   1. Start ListManager and ListManager WebServer and login to the interface
   2. Select a node from the top-right dropdown
   3. Navigate to Utilities > Administration > Server > Server Settings > Node Settings > IP Addresses tab
   4. Ensure that the correct IP addresses are listed. Add the new IP addresses and delete the old IP addresses here
   5. Select one or more IP addresses from the 'TCLPORT IP addresses' dropdown
      By default, no TCLPORT IP addresses are selected. (IP addresses listed are not highlighted). So select one or more IP addresses from the list. These settings are unique for each node
   6. Repeat Step 3.2 for each additional node
      
      
4. Check Mailstream IP Addresses:
   
   1. Navigate to Utilities > Administration > MailStream > MailStream Administration > Select mailstream
   2. Remove the old IP address and add in the new IP address. Repeat this for each Mailstream configured
      
      
5. Check Internet Hostname:
   1. Navigate to Utilities > Administration > Sites > Click to edit Site
   2. Internet Hostname is the hostname ListManager will use if URL tracking is turned on per List. Make sure that the Hostname points to the new IP address.

Lyris LM Database Configuration

1. Navigate to the List Manager install directory
   
   
2. Edit the lmcfg.txt file
   1. Update the $sql_server value to point to the new database
   2. Update any other parameters that need to be updated if applicable, e.g., username, password, or database name
   3. Save the file
      
      
3. Start List Manager services

After migrating the Lyris LM server and Lyris LM database, the system operates from the migrated installation.
