Re: Migrating from a PPC to Intel Server?

I was trying to switch from a older G4 1Ghz DP running 10.4.8 Server to a Intel Mac.
I was hoping I could just clone the G4's hard drive to the new Intel machine then just run the universal 10.4.7 server installer to get the Intel binaries installed.
OS X server won't let me run the installer because the machine is running a newer version of OS X. Is there a way to upgrade the server this way?
I didn't want to migrate everything because we are running upgraded versions of mySQL, PHP, Spam Assassin etc that I would have to be reconfigured.

Edit the following two files with pico and change the versions to 10.4.6 then run the 10.4.7 server installer.
/System/Library/CoreServices/ServerVersion.plist
/System/Library/CoreServices/SystemVersion.plist


More than likely (depending on how you updated it will depend on what you need to do) you will have to reinstall your updated SpamAssassin.

If you configured CPAN properly you can probably get away with a couple of terminal commands to re-install it.

something like the following should work:
su; # become root
cd ~/.cpan/build/Mail-SpamAssassin-3.1.7
make
make install
