Here is an approximate check list for successfully moving your web site from one server to another : 1) make sure the new server meets software requirements listed at http://www.esvon.com/pg/products/p_classifieds/req/; 2) backup the database for Esvon Classifieds (use mysqldump or phpMyAdmin which is usually available from hosting control panel); 3) compress the entire website dir into a single file to preserve the directories and files as currently maintained and move/upload it to the new server; 4) unpack website into the new location; 5) set correct directories / files permissions if necessary (make some of them writable) according to /docs/readme.txt; 6) create database on the new server and restore it from the backup dump; 7) configure software to find the new database (update inc/application.php settings); 8) make sure the website works as expected using any temporary URL to the new server; 9) transfer the domain to the new server. | |
