Moving Servers

I currently have a fully functional OsCommerce installed in server A, but I now want to bring it over directly to server B.

 

Can I simply drag and drop all the files over and upload the database to the new server, or is it more complicated that that? Are there any database values I need to reset or change in the database to make it work?

 

Thanks.

back up the database locally

download all your server A files

 

move to server B

reinstall osCommerce

restore the database

upload the files

adjust the paths in config if necessary

 

worked ok for me.... depends on the hosts *really*

 

Good luck,

Digs

Where do you adjust the paths in config? Is it in the admin or do I have to do it in phpmyadmin?

 

Will it work if I don't reinstall OsCommerce but just copy the files over and link to the restored database?

Hey dude no bumping..

You might need to adjust absolute path in the includes/configure.php and the admin/includes/configure.php

Backup before making changes. Backup before making changes! Backup before making changes!!

 

You did do a backup? eh?
