Hi,

I wanted to ask here whats the best way to migrate an existing faq to another host and upgrade to the latest phpmyfaq.

Situation:
I'm running phpmyfaq 1.6.11 on domainA.com. Now I want to move my faq to domainB.com and upgrade to version 2.0.1. This 2 domains are using different databases.

Can anybody tell me the exact steps I have to do when I want to migrate correctly without any problems?

Greets and best regards,
Dawn

Hi,

- creating a dump of the database from the old server
- creating the database on the new server and install the data from the dump
- copy all new files from 2.0.1 on the new server
- copy the directories data/, images/, pdf/, xml/ from the old server to the new server
- copy inc/config.php and inc/data.php from the old server to the new server
- run update.php on the new server

Maybe you have to edit the values in data.php for the new server if the hostname or the database name changed.

bye
Thorsten
