How to Move Forum to another site/server ?
I have a forum running 3.8.4, with a database of 385MB (extracted).
I took a backup of the database (via the AdminCP) to an .sql file (385MB). I copied all the vBulletin folders and files to my harddrive. I need to change hosting/server, so I arranged for that. I then use Plesk to create a new MYsql database. I then used the Sql PhpAdmin facility to IMPORT the data from my exported .sql file to the database. Apart from the fact that I had to physically break the .sql file into many pieces, because the total was just too large to accomplish in one pass. So I broke the file up (using a text editor) into about 12 pieces, and then imported each of them. This all finished successfully. I can now look at the database (via Plesk PhpAdmin)... all the tables are there, and they all seem to have the correct number of records. I then FTP over all my backup vBulletin files/folders to the new server. Again, successful. So when I try to visit the site, I see there are no forums displayed... but I do have 30 of them in the database. Also, when I login as Administrator, I do not see anything of value in the "Options" "drop-down" list. And all the "Administrator" items don't exist either. I didn't bother to look at any other items... I just know something is WRONG. What did I do wrong ? What should I do to fix things? Thanks for any and all help. |
