Moving NetTracker

There are two ways to move NetTracker from one computer to another. The recommended way involves reimporting all of your log files. The other method is for those who no longer have their old log files.

Moving NetTracker with Log Files

The best way to move NetTracker from one computer to another involves reimporting all of your log files.

To move NetTracker to another computer if you have your log files:
  1. Install NetTracker on the other computer.
  2. If you want to keep your profile configuration, copy reports.cfg from the original computer to the new computer. (Reports.cfg is stored in the NetTracker/data/reports directory.) Reimport your log data.
  3. Remove NetTracker from the old computer.

Moving NetTracker without Log Files

If you no longer have all of your log files, you can still move NetTracker from one computer to another.

Note: Except in certain limited circumstances, you can only copy the database files between two installations of NetTracker if both installations are running on the same platform.

To move NetTracker to another computer without reimporting log files:
  1. Install NetTracker on the new computer.
  2. Copy the data directory to the new computer. The data directory is located in the NetTracker program directory. (On Windows, the default program directory is C:\Program Files\NetTracker. On UNIX, the default program directory is /usr/local/NetTracker.)
  3. Run nettracker all -regen (from the NetTracker program directory) on the new installation to regenerate the associated HTML files.
  4. Remove NetTracker from the old computer.
