phpwcms Support Forum

I am going to move a built website founded on phpwcms and mysql from one domain to another.
I think I can simply move all the contents of the phpwcms installation (by ftp), but am I wrong?
I guess I will have to move the contents of the database as well from one mysql installation to the other.
But is this enough to sensure all connections between frontend and backend?

Thanks in advance for any corrections or tips!

Hello Carsten ..

Move it

Make shure you got all files from the phpwcms_filestorage (some minor probs with poss. rights)

When you change domain name, make shure that you change this in your config file as well.

Database connection data has to be changed (prob.) as well.

Put all content and database up on your new space, make the changes in config and all is done !

Danke schön, Jürgen!

I succeeded transferring all files and permissions to another domain, but I missed it with the database part (mysql). That one seemed to be far much too complicated. At least to me, a complete mysql newbie.
Now I will have it build up the website from scratch again.

in phpMyadmin, save the database (export), and run it as a query in the new database. This should solve your problem and have the database running with the new domain
