restore backup on another server with another domain self-hosted

I managed to restore DB+Volumes from a server to another one with another domain but when I try to click my project on the console, I get error "404 - Project with the requested ID could not be found. Please check the value of the X-Appwrite-Project header to ensure the correct project ID is being used.". Should I change something in .env or some records in DB ? Thx.

TL;DR

Issue: After restoring a backup from one server to another with a different domain, developers encounter a "404 Project Not Found" error in Appwrite Console. Solution: Update the project ID in the `.env` file and client configs to match the restored project rather than manually editing database records. Check if the project exists on the new server using the Appwrite CLI or API. Make sure to verify the Appwrite version and if the projects collection was restored alongside the database and volumes.

I can help 👍 This usually happens because the project ID stored in the client / console config doesn’t match the project ID in the restored database. After moving to a new server/domain, the Appwrite Console may still be sending an old X-Appwrite-Project value. You typically need to update the project ID in your .env (and any client configs) to match the restored project, not manually edit DB records. Quick check: Does the project exist when you list projects via the Appwrite CLI or API on the new server? What Appwrite version are you running, and did you restore the projects collection as well?
