[SOLVED] affa restore to 8 fails at send-key

<< < (2/3) > >>

jameswilson:
thought i was making progress but it seems not


--- Code: ---
[root@smebackupserver ~]# affa -send-key versigolf
Job versigolf: Public key sent to versigolf.co.uk
Error 852 in 'main': SSH connection to versigolf.co.uk failed. Did you send the public key?
[root@smebackupserver ~]#


--- End code ---

im at a loss now.

if the public key is sent then it should allow comms?

Try this:
Open up ssh access on the new server, then try to establish a ssh connection using putty from a workstation or another sme server.
That will test whether you have access through to the xen hosted sme.
If you do not have normal ssh access then you cannot expect affa to establish a ssh connection.

Try to delete the saved key on the AFFA server. That's what I was always missing. Clear out the old key, then send new public key, and it will record it.
