Sure, did it many times as we shuffled sites among servers. Just cmuExport the ones you want off the old box and cmuImport to the new.
<br />
<br />You MAY run into problems with conflicting usernames as you import. Just hit (C) to change the name. If you had a "john" on both the old and the new, rename the user to "john2" as he imports to the new server. Its a bit of a PIA for the user, he has to change his e-mail client for a different login. But he can always keep "john" as an alias and so the same e-mail address in his domain.
<br />
<br />If you have some sites you're moving, but not everything off of the old server - use a script to automate it. Go into /home/cmu and put in a list of sites you'll migrate with "ls -1 /home/sites/ > sites.txt". Edit that list to include just the ones you'll migrate. Then use "for site in `cat sites.txt`; do cmuExport -n $site; done". When it completes - it will have performed a cmuExport for each of the sites in that list "sites.txt". Tar them up, copy to the new server with scp, untar, and install with cmuImport. Easy!
<br />
<br />But don't forget your MySQL databases if any of those moved sites use MySQL. That's a bit more work. And can raise some problems if there are specific MySQL users with permissions to some of the databases but not others. Too much to describe here, shoot a message if you need more description of that.
