Moving Servers

When moving servers, Do I have to redo everything or can I just change the config.php3 file to mysql settings and its the same as before ?

yes,
but you have to remember to move your database too!

to move the db, the best way imho is to get phpmyadmin and go into the main database menu, and near the bottom there is a

View dump (schema) of database
[] Structure only | [] Add 'drop table'
[] Structure and data | [] send
[submit]

form. select Structure and data, and send, and submit. it will start a download screen that will let you save the database to a .sql file on your harddrive.

then you can upload it to your new box and (again w/ phpmyadmin @ main db menu) find this:

Run SQL query/queries on database tribalwar(my db*) : [________]

or Location of the textfile: [_______] [Browse]
[submit]

pick the text file, hit submit, and when its finished you're all done.

btw, excuse the very poor attempt at drawing form elements, no html is annoying

Little advice, use telnet, PHPMyAdmin doesn't handle dumps and imports well!
