phpwcms Support Forum

Hi,

Is there any documentation out there that describes in detail the steps to move a site from one host to another, which steps need to be taken and how to get the database shifted? can anyone help at all please?

Thanks

Hi,

Old account:
1. Download all files from phpwcms via ftp.
2. Export your database via phpMyAdmin (recommended zip or gzip compressed).

New account:
1. Upload all downloaded files to your account via ftp.
2. Set all permissions for files and folders -> http://www.phpwcms-docu.de/installation_en.phtml.
3. phpMyAdmin: Create a new database and import the exported database.
4. Change in conf.inc.php to your new database values.

Thats all.

Knut

Knut, as ever thank you!
