Topic: Moving Mambo sites

[edform]

I need to move a Mambo site to a new server, but I don't want to simply backup and restore the whole thing - the old server has some issues with a failed install of SmerpFax that I just can't clean up.

What do I have to move over to get my site working on the new machine? I assume that the html folder in the virtual domain, and the database folder in /var/lib/mysql should do it, but a bit of advice would be useful.

Sounds about right Ed, if there are no 'system requirements' that were needed for Mambo e.g. system user etc.

I did just that a couple of weeks ago. I just backed up the mambo database via phpmyadmin and moved the files and directory under /html to the new server.

On the ner server I restored the database and edit the configure.php with the new path to the database.

Don't forget to set the access rights on the files on the new server. This is described in tha Mambo manual.

Thanks Micael, and RequestedDeletion; I'll get to it this evening.
