There are three directory structures that must be archived and transferred to the new location: the WebMO cgi-bin directory, the WebMO HTML directory, and the WebMO user directory. The locations of these directories can be found in the /cgi-bin/interfaces/globals.int file, under the entries cgiBase, htmlBase, and userBase, respectively. Create a tar file of each of the three directories using a sequence of command resembling the following: % cd /home/smith/public_html/cgi-bin % tar cvf webmocgi.tar webmo % cd /home/smith/public_html % tar cvf webmohtml.tar webmo % cd /home/smith % tar cvf webmouser.tar webmo Transfer these three tar files to the new server, and extract them into the desired location using a sequence of command resembling the following: % mv /download_dir/webmocgi.tar /home/httpd/cgi-bin/ % cd /home/httpd/cgi-bin % tar xvf webmocgi.tar % mv /download_dir/webmohtml.tar /home/httpd/html/ % cd /home/httpd/html % tar xvf webmohtml.tar % mv /download_dir/webmouser.tar
