Hi, I would like to move my Shopware 6.4.20.0 (Com ed) app from one server to another. To do this in version 5, I would have followed this procedure: Copy files and database (put them on new environment). (already done) Go to s\_core\_shops table and alter the host and hosts fields (if they changed). (this table does not exist in v6 - have not gone further) Go to config.php in the root directory of the shopware file and alter it for connecting the right database. (Deactivate cyphered Plug-Ins if the host changed) But the above is no longer valid for v.6 The SALES\_CHANNEL\_DOMAIN table has the correct URL. Could someone please provide or point me to an updated process? Thank you! ---

Copy files and database, adjust the .env (url and composer, etc), change die url of your sales channel in the administration (backend should still work with a wrong url), clear cache. Shopware might ask you to migrate plugin licenses. It is explained in the official documentation. ---

Hi Max\_Shop Thank you for taking the time to reply! Both the database. and .env file seem correct. The 3 cells of the SALES\_CHANNEL\_DOMAIN have the correct URL. The database reference and APP\_URL in the .env file also look okay. Can you give me an example of how the COMPOSER\_HOME should look? Thanks again! ---

It must be the absolut path on the server to the composer installation, e.g. `COMPOSER_HOME="/var/www/domain.com/var/cache/composer"` ---

Thanks! Although it looks different, it seems that the env file is correct. Based on the original installation, which works fine - but the cloned instance with updated host and server throw a 500 error (log: GET / HTTP/1.0" 500 997 „-“) for both frontend and admin. Could there be some unique identifier that is not being verified? ---

What about the error message in var/log/prod-2023-05-xx.log ? ---

Sorry for the delayed response. The log is empty. The original instance on the first server has a populated log but this clone’s ‚public\_html \> var \> log‘ is empty. I’m thinking of cloning the server again but this time moving the other application and keeping Shopware where it is - I know that this works, although it is not the solution I wanted. ---

I’ve marked the second post in this thread as the solution. A few months after my original post, I used the host’s docker type copy function to create a new staging version from prod and following the same procedure as before and in post #2, this time it worked. There may be a difference in how the host creates clones / staging environments.
