1. You will need to get your database information. You can do that many ways. I usually just log into my PHPmyadmin and do an export.

2. download all of the files on your server to your computer.

 

this is what I do for reuploading/installing...

1. I set up my database and add my sql file

2. upload all files to my new server INCLUDING my install folder (if I didn't have it in my space I just get the folder from the oscommerce zip).

3.Set permissions on my 2 configure files so they can be written to, set permissions for folders like images and any editer, cache or tmp folders that need to be done.

4. run the install like I did when oscommerce was brand new but UNCHECK the import database sql. This way it will auto config the files and you don't have to figure out file paths, etc.

5. fix the chmods on the configure files so they are read only

6. delete the install file.

 

If you have any contributions that needed to have url or file stucture coded into any pages, you will need to do that yourself and ofcourse set up a new admin user and password but other than that you should be good to go with your site just like it was on the other host.

Thanks for your help.

But when i want to edit catalog/includes/configure.php, i see the below source code. And i do not know what shall i do. I did not set the password before. It seems the password is encoded by oscommerce or cpanel(i use cpanel to create database).

define('DB_SERVER_PASSWORD', 'eKCiH8[kLsf4');

What shall i do?
