Thank you! That is what I was waiting for. I just wanted to be sure it was a COPY. Thank you.
I did successfully (I hope) make the backup..at least it is in the FTP and seems to be a big enough file.
Now, once I get off the phone with my new server I should have enough information (FTP login, SSH login, database created) to finish the instructions and the move. WHEW. Can't wait till this is done. But wait, I'll have to do it again for the other forum . LOL. Then I will have to learn even more
ok, so I have one more thing before I Get R Dun
Step 4 in the instructions says to open the includes/config.php file...... does this mean that at that point my forum will be on the new server, I go to the control panel to find that includes file and change it there?
or does it mean that I would FTP that file from the server to my computer, edit it and upload it back to the server?
AHHHHH!
It is in the FTP. That is where I do it right? Yeah, getting close!
