Need help in Moving site from one server to another Server
 

I have few domains on two different servers with the same host. Now I am going to shift my vbforum files from A server to B server. I have no experience in moving site files permanently from one server to another.

Now I want to know that what steps should I take before and after shifting site files from A to B server without any errors.

Please guide me step wise.

Thanks in advance.

I have solved my Problem. Thanks for 0 replies.

All good then...

You did not do a search before you asked your question. That information is readily available at vbulletin.org and vbulletin.com. :)

Do you know where it is exactly?

I have gone through the vb support but got confused. As i am new to this operation, I have tried my self with a spare domain name in simple steps.

• Assigned the test domain to my target server.
• Uploaded all the files to the root
• Uploaded the sql file to the temp directory
• Created DB username and DB name
• Imported the sql file
• Updated the config.php
• Succeeded.

The same procedure has been implemented on the Original domain.

Now the site is on and working fine with the Original one and as of now I found no issues.

I think this method may works only if we have accounts with same host.

As I am having very less knowledge on using those technologies like DUMP.SQL / SSH/Telnet, and other ones, I thought to get some simple ways here in vb.org and raised that query.

Anyhow thanks

Have you used Paulm's mod for backing up your forum? https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=231481

This will back up your forum either via php or mysql..... If you need a hand? drop me a pm and I'll help you this evening, when I finish work.

My answer is NO. And now my site is on and no issues found. Thanks for your helping nature. :up::up:

Rather abrupt... Disco_Dave was only offering to help you..

No thanks Dave, I have managed to clean up my site. Thanks for your helping nature. :up::up:
