hugoboss Posted January 18, 2006 Posted January 18, 2006 I need to switch servers without interference. How do I do this without running install on new server which does not have the dns assigned yet? What config file do I need to change? TIA
Jack_mcs Posted January 18, 2006 Posted January 18, 2006 You need to change both includes/configure.php and admin/includes/configure.php. But that will cause your site to be down until the nameservers switch. The only way to prevent that is to have the new configure file setup to use the old database (some hosts won't allow this). Once the change occurs, change that setting. Otherwise, you should block the old site until they switch.

So I need to change the new confire.php files and include the old data base.. ?
Jack_mcs Posted January 19, 2006 Posted January 19, 2006 You will need to upload a copy of your database to the one on your new server and change the configure files to point to that new database since it will most likely have a different name.
