[chef] Re: Moving couchdb, validator/webui.pem and cookbooks to a new server

[Chris < >]

For me, it was as simple as couchdb-dump on server A (couchdb version 0.11.2), couchdb-load on server B (couchdb version 1.0.1).  The API of course was down while i did this. After updating server.rb to point couchdb_url, solr_url and ampq urls to the new server, I fired it up and was ready to go. 

Keys, cookbooks, everything came right over w/o issue.

I have been following several threads on the list about backing up and
restoring couchdb and re-uploading the cookbooks.   However, I need to
move the couchdb, validator.pem, webui.pem and cookbooks to a new server
of the same name.  I am migrating from Chef-server running on CentOS 5.7
to a newly installed Chef-Server running on CentOS 6.2.

I am pretty sure I know what to do to backup and restore the couchdb.
What do I need to backup / restore to migrate all the cookbooks and the
chef-validator pubkey, the validation.pem private key and the webui.pem.

I think Kallen migrated his keys and the database.

Thanks in advance
