stanleymog Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Hi all, I have spent a while scanning the site for the answer but some things seem a bit technical for me! What I am doing is moving servers and what I would like to know is a step by step guide on what to do, from which files I back up to where I put them on the new server etc etc..... Please try and keep it simple!! Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FIMBLE Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Hi Jason, Back up the store to your desktop, use php my Admin or similar to download your database to your desk top On your new server create a database with the same credentials as th eone you are currently using. Upload the database using phpmyadmin on your new server. Upload the store to the new server, you may need to change some settings in the Configure files. Its a pretty easy thing to do.

carryG Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Login to old server. Rsync data/images (all at once to new server). Setup new database, import old database. Change some settings in configure.php (both). All set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
