how do i restore files from old host to new host?
i just recently (30 mins ago) bought a new host due to my current host closing down shop. So i want to backup my public_html folder and switch it to the new host. But how do i do this? I'm clueless when it comes to this server crap!

The only way i know is to download the public_html folder to your computer using your ftp program, then reupload to your new server...

Do you have SSH access? If not try getting it. If you cant get it. you'll have to do as bashy said,
Dump It Code:
mysqldump -u username -p -h localhost database_name > database_name.sql Code:
tar cvf folder.tar folder_you_want_to_backup Code:
scp folder.tar username@new_host_ip_adress:/path/to/new/web_root Code:
tar xvf folder.tar Code:
mysql -u username -p -h localhost database_name < database_name.sql |
Damn, i thought ya could do it using SSH but i dont think i will ever bother lol
I just leave mine to download for a day or so, then upload for 2 days or so lol Using SSH could you transfer from server to server? is that what im seeing in your example? I spose that would pretty darn quick? |
well i came to figure, i could just save the public_html folder and upload the files that are in this one to the new host public_html folder and it will work, right?

Yes you are 100% correct, although, there may need ot be a little configuring.
See how you get on 1st, if theres any errors when completed post here the errors and will take it from there! |

Yes, I transfered roughly 20+gb the other day from one server to the next in about 30 minutes or so i think it was. That was on a 100mbps, sure beats waiting days for downloads, and more days to reupload |
well, i put all my files on the new host, and ran the install process of my new board. It's basically completley new. I looked in phpMyAdmin and there were no tables b4 i installed. So i made a backup of my board maybe 2 days ago (thank God). I'm attempting to restore my tables and everything else. So i goto:
phpMyAdmin > Import > Browse File select my "vbulletin.sql" then character set of file "utf8" correct? This will complelety restore everything? If not, tell me what i do? I have my vbulletin.sql file updated, so what do i gotta do to restore everything THANKS! nevermind... i did just that and it worked! I'm back up baby! ***************************** i looked at it when it was done, and here's what it says Quote:
