Dear Eugenio,
first of all, please be prepared that a migration is not a walk in the park.
You might need some background knowledge about the db scheme and how
is everything is wired together. Further I think the whole multisites idea is not
maintained since long time and hence I would suggest that you first try to port your
data to a single site 2.10.3 instance.
You're saying them amount of tables changed after running migrate? That
is a good sign. The most interesting here is if the manage command threw errors?
Further yes, a wrong settings file could lead to a wrong database usage.
(Just rename the old and you will see ;)
In case of geonode_project you can try to set local_settings here.

> My situation is the following:
>
> I have a geonode 2.4 running on a server 'A' configured to run as multi-site which embeds something like 120 layers, 20 maps and 3 users. In server 'A' is running ubuntu 14.04, which is obsolete.
> I have also server 'B' where ubuntu is at the version 18.04.
> I want to migrate my genode 2.4 running instance as multisites from server 'A' to 'B'.
> I have asked some weeks ago here in the list what would have been the best solution, consider I'm not a developer and I never used the virtualenv. I installed the 2.4 version for production.
> For the migration I was following some suggestions from Alessio:
> Setup a new GeoServer 2.15.2 ( https://build.geo-solutions.it/geonode/geoserver/latest/geoserver-2.15.2.war <https://build.geo-solutions.it/geonode/geoserver/latest/geoserver-2.15.2.war> )
> Transfer the Data Dir from the old GeoServer to the new one (I strongly suggest to backport **only** the workspace, datasets and styles, not the security subsystem)
> Setup the new GeoNode instance
> Run the "updatelayers" management command (see http://docs.geonode.org/en/master/admin/mgmt_commands/index.html#management-command-updatelayers <http://docs.geonode.org/en/master/admin/mgmt_commands/index.html#management-command-updatelayers> )
> Update manually the missing permissions and metadata
> I completed step 1 with geoserver 2.16.2 - I installed the data_dir outside geoserver - and it runs fine
> I completed step 2 and I'm able to see all the layers I had in server 'A'
> I set up a fresh geonode instance, even thanks to you help. I installed geonode from GIT, so I should have the master version (2.10).
> Within the step 2 I restored in server 'A' the two postgresql db I had inserver 'A'
> Since I remembered some steps of the custom configuration I did for version 2.4 (and I never used NGINX) I configured APACHE2.
> Currently in server 'B' I'm able to see the geonode home page, but I cannot see my layers as well as I cannot enter as administrator.
> I followed you suggestions and I
> ALTER TABLE public.layers_layer DROP COLUMN service_id
> successfully
> and I gave the command
> django python manage.py migrate --fake-initial
> but I'm still not able to enter as administrator
> I realized even that the db schema apparently didn't change (e.g. I had 75 tables in the old version and I still have 75 tables in the newer version, I don't if the fields are modified instead)
> to have the version 2.10 running I followed your suggestion to insert my domain in the ALLOWED_HOSTS variable inside local_settings.py. I did it but it didn't work as long as I insert the same in settings.py. For this reason I'm supposing that local_settings.py is not active in some way and for the same reason it doesn't allow to connect to the db. Am I right?
> Once the administrator login will be solved:
> I should configure this new running geonode instance for multisites - Could I restore in someway the look & feels I had in the old instance?
> check the authorization between geonode and geoserver
> I hope this can help you to have a clearer vision of 'whats going on'...

>> > • I created a geonode postgresql empty db, while I restored the backup from that I was using in 2.4 version. How I should populate with the new data-schema the geonode metadata db? I remember there was the command python manage.py --syncdb, does still exist? I tried but I got error.

>> • Fix some inconsistency within your new database. Run f.e. with pgadmin or by psql from console
>> • ALTER TABLE public.layers_layer DROP COLUMN service_id
>> • Run the migrations, this should update your database scheme from 2.4 to 2.10
>> • DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=YOURGEONODE.local_settings django python manage.py migrate --fake-initial

>> You will need to change those commands to fit your setup further run into errors here and
