Copy vB forum structure to NEW domain?

[jefferis]

We have a forum working on one domain (igotasti.com) and have bought a second copy of vB for a similar forum with a different domain (igotaevo.com). What we want to do is copy our existing forum structure and most permissions over to the new domain, so we don't have to start from scratch. Then we can delete all the posts and non-admin users.

The advice I've read has to do with moving your existing forums to a new host but not a different domain, and/or changing your domain name. What I need are some clear instructions, if there are any or anyone knows how to do this, on what steps I should follow to upload the forum structure into the new install.

So far, I have downloaded a backup of the entire existing site, purchased a new vB and uploaded it onto the new site in the same relatively named directory folder ( vBforum), run the installer, but I have not restored the database because i read about a potential problem with domain cookies and perhaps other things.

Any direction greatly appreciated, or, if this is a wrong headed impossible task fraught with unforseen problems and should not be attempted, please let me know that too.

Thanks
