I need to transfer an osC solution from another server

[abcxyz]

I have a perfectly working osC solution on one server which I'd like to transfer to another server. On the server I'd like to transfer it to there's osC on there, so I know I need to wipe that clean first but is there anything else that needs to be done?

 

Thanks!

AB, from the old server: FTP all files and directories to your local machine. Export your current database (all fields) and download them to your local machine. Make not of your current SQL version.

 

 

On your new server: create a new database using the same SQL version(unless you plan to upgrade from 4.0 to 5.0) and import the database from your local machine. Then, FTP the OSC files from your local machine, to the new server in the desired folders.

 

Once this is done. Change your catalog>includes>configure.php and catalog>admin>includes>configure.php files to point to the new directories if they have been changed.

 

That's about it I think. It may need a little tweaking but should you have any problems, post them so someone can offer other suggestions.

 

NOTE: I would not delete your OSC installation from the new or old servers until you know this is completely working.
