Changing server, need a to-do list!

[jcr]

Hi! I have to change to a new server, and want everything to be intact..

Could someone please give me a complete to-do list?

vBulletin 3.0.1
Hacks installed : uCash & uShop and v3Arcade

To a moderator: Sorry for posting it here, if you could move it to a better suited forum it would be great!

If its a new domain that you will be using, change the cookie domain and cookie path in the vBulletin Options to both be blank. Backup database, backup files, copy to new server, import database, edit config.php if any of the details have changed job done as far as vB is concerned.

Okay lets see if I have this correct in the right order:

1. Change cookie domain & path
2. Change the config.php
3. Backup the database
4. Backup files
5. Move to new server
6. Import database .. ( how?* )

*What is the optimal solution for this? phpAdmin seems to hang when importing BIG databases and cause several errors..

You need to edit config.php onec you have moved to the NEW server.

Import the database with:

mysql -uUSERNAME -p database_name < /path/to/backup.sql

Backup with;

mysqldump --opt -uUSERNAME -p database_name > /path/to/backup.sql

Replacing the obvious values for username, database name and where the file you wish to import from is (or where you want the dump to go).

u need to use putty and have ssh enabled on your account (this sometimes needs to be turned on by ur host)
login using ssh, not telnet
then use the command ntldr posted
Yep, i figured that out. Neither of my hosts accept telnet / ssh, and the mysql restore function does not accept upload bigger than 50kb.. LOL.. , I cant even make smaller dumps of my database.. argh.. does someone have an unofficial vb3 importer? That can import my vb3 database and stuff?
