Thanks Janet, I'm going to try the backup today and see how it goes. Once I have a good backup I can play some. I appreciate the advice.

All user email is included in a backup.
Also included are all files in ibays, so if your web app is in an ibay it will be backed up & restored.
All mysql databases are backed up & restored too (ie mysql db for your web app).
Things in /opt are not backed up by default so you need to add /opt to the backup inclusion list, refer Backup server config Howto.
You might have to tweak php settings for your web app to suit SME9, but any settings configured in SME db system will be backed up & restored.
So far it sounds OK.
I would stick with the built in backup to USB done in the console menu (login as admin to server). It should work fine & you can use that backup to restore to SME9 during the first reboot.

stephdl,
phpvirtualbox looks promising. I'm going to check out the tutorial and mess with it some. Great suggestion. Thanks.
--- Quote from: stephdl on December 31, 2014, 07:38:24 AM ---Near Off Topic, but I would add it, with SME you can Install phpvirtualbox and test your dev directly on the server, the developer of phpvirtualbox has released a new version, and I hope (we have exchanged some emails) that the development will come again.
Anyway that solution is not comparable to a proxmox solution where the sme is virtualized but it allows you to get on the same server, your sme and other virtual servers.
My 2C if you want to reinstall and buy a new server.

I know you guys are probably not interested but I was able to get OsCommerce Online Merchant 2.3 installed and running on SME 9.0. It wasn't as bad as I thought and I don't believe I could have done it as quickly as I did without the invaluable help from this forum. Thanks Janet and stephdl.
I ended up using some old hardware to install SME 9 on. Everything went pretty well except my KVM locks up on reboot. Going to work on that later. I got my development box and that's the important thing. After install, did a yum update to get everything updated. Installed phpmyadmin and sme9admin, configured remote access and started working through it.
I ended up creating an iBay to install OsCommerce in called shop as Janet suggested. Here are the details for the iBay setup:
iBay name: shop
Group: select the group created above from this list
User access via file sharing or user ftp: Write = Group, Read = Group
Public access via web or anonymous ftp: entire internet (no password required)
Execution of dynamic content (CGI, PHP, SSI): Enabled
Force secure connections: Disabled
The rest of the install was pretty much per the instructions on the OsCommerce wiki here: http://library.oscommerce.com/Online&en&oscom_2_3&getting_started&requirements
I created a database from the console with:
create database <databasename>;
I created a user for the database with:
grant all on <databasename>.* to username@localhost identified by 'password';
flush privileges;
quit;
After that I gathered all of the configuration information so I had it to copy and paste in the setup pages. Then connected to the server with filezilla and uploaded the catalog folder from the OsCommerce zip file to the shop iBay html folder.
The only tricky part was getting the file permissions right. When the iBay is created filezilla shows the permissions to be 660. I went to the console and chmod all of the files in /home/e-smith/files/ibays/shop/html to 755 and went to http://www.domain.com/shop and ran through the install procedure. Pretty easy so far. They have strict instructions in the wiki to change the permissions on a few files and delete a folder. I'm working through the security issues that the wiki points out now so there are a few things to do before I'm done with the install.
I did create a user account and make sure I could get into the site. Email notification is working and all is good after a reconfigure and reboot. I'm probably going to wipe this server out and do some more testing and reinstalling before I'm done, but it looks to be working so far. I haven't tried to test anything for security just yet so there may be more changes down the road.
Thanks guys for all the help. Time for a long weekend. Happy New Year everyone.

You should start a wiki page in the Howto Section, it is a good way to record informations and the detail of all needed commands
Concerning the ownership of the Ibay, you don't need normally to setup them manually, a similar approach could be done like this http://wiki.contribs.org/OwnCloud#Version_7.0.4
But I guess that if you let the admin to be the owner of the Ibay with permission 'wr-group-rd-everyone' (write by group, read by everyone), that should do the trick. In fact the specific permissions that you set, will go when you will reconfigure your server, or the Ibay
for the Mysql DB, either you could do by CL or by phpmyadmin, both are valuable.
