Default Problem Transferring From Shared to Private Server on GoDaddy
Hello all,

I've been tinkering with transferring all of my files on my previous server to my new server and nothing is working. GoDaddy did it themselves and did a worse hack job than I did. Luckily my old server is still up and running, so the website is still up with no issues. But I'm paying for two servers monthly when I need just one.

So, I'm hoping some of you can lead me in the right direction with this. I'm starting from scratch all over again. My current plan is to: Open FileZilla and copy the entire root folder named "/" from my old server to my desktop computer. After this is done (~90-120 minutes), I will need to upload them to my new server. Once that is done, I don't know where to go or what to do. This is where I need the correct advice/information. I understand there are certain lines/areas of information on the admincp end in vbulletin, as well as in the base folder index.html file and /forums/includes/config.php file?

If there is any information needed that I have not included please let me know. Go easy on me, I haven't had to adjust any of the back-end server stuff in almost two years and GoDaddy support does nothing with vBulletin. So, the more information and explanation in my situation is very appreciated. Thank you all in advance!

Best Regards,
Dan

Well you will also need to export your database. I would suggest running a complete back up and downloading that.

You will then upload everything in the godaddy public_html directory to the same on your new server. You will need to create a new database and database user, enter that info in your config and import the database using phpadmin or ssh.

More to do as well with permissions and image paths..

Thank you Richie, can you elaborate on how I can export my database please? how would I run a complete backup?

As for new database and database user, IIRC I can make those the same as the ones I currently have so things follow suit. How can I see what they currently are so I can create the same ones again? Thank you for your input!

Doesn't help me learn though, and work isn't guaranteed.

I looked at that but I'm not sure if it pertains fully to my specific situation. Anything else I need to know during this process?

My work is guaranteed and I will teach you.

To export a database go into phpadmin and you will see it. Export as a file.
