Hello I am following your instructions on migrating wowza to another server. I do everything except copying the content on the old wowza. I would only want to have all the applications i have in my old server in my new server. For this i copy:

1. Copy the following folders from your backed up Wowza Streaming Engine server instance to the new Wowza Streaming Engine server instance:
  - [_install-dir_]/applications (application folders)
  - [_install-dir_]/conf (server configuration files. Note: Do NOT copy the [_install-dir_]/conf/jmxremote.access file from your backup.)
  - [_install-dir_]/content (on-demand video files, caption files, stream files, etc.)
  - [_install-dir_]/lib (your custom modules)
  - [_install-dir_]/logs (if needed, for example, for client billing)
  - [_install-dir_]/manager/conf (Wowza Streaming Engine Manager configuration files)
  - [_install-dir_]/transcoder (Transcoder template files)

2. On the new server instance, delete the [_install-dir_]/conf/Server.guid and [_install-dir_]/conf/Admin.guidfiles.

I do them in that ORDER. is it correct? or should i delete the folders Admin.guid and Server.guid BEFORE copying the old /conf directory?

I ssh to my new server and all the folders from the /applications /conf etc is there!! but when conecting through the web intrface i cannot see anything!!

It is really urgent and i do not know what else to do. HELP!
