Moving Servers/Database Backup Help
I have read the docs on moving vBulletin to another server and I still need some help.
All I want to do is move the threads, posts, and members to the new forum. I don't want to save any Admin CP settings, user groups, user ranks, styles and skins, modifications and hacks, or avatars and profile pictures. It seems my only way (the only thing I have access to on the original forum) is the Admin CP database backup. When I try to download it to my hard drive I do not know if it is completing because it is a large database. And when I try to backup the database to a file on the server I get this message: Quote:

You need to chmod the directory. Also Impex I believe will take care of all the importing when you get the database backup.

you will need to be bale to login to the old server via FTP, then chmod the forums directory to 0777
This will make the DB backup right there in the forums directory, then you will need to download that. Move it to your new server, restore it, and use impex to import the data you wish to import. You can download impex from vbulletin.com/members area |
