Hey, is there any tutorial on how i could change my host to another host?
Including all mysql, etc. And my threads ofcourse, in this case.. the whole forum.
Any step by step tutorials would be cool, is there any1?
Hi, One of the first things I read at this forum (~5 years ago), was a tutorial on moving to another host. It was very, very long and detailed, but...
...MyBB is actually really easy to move.
0) Disable all plugins (usually not necessary)
1) The /inc/config.php file doesn't ask for file-paths to be set, so the only thing to change is the database info.
2) Copy the files (ftp if you must, w/ VPS use rsync!)
3) Dump (edit:
'Export') the database and import into the new one.*
4) Enjoy.
Obviously, you need to change the nameservers for the new host...
*phpMyAdmin is very intuitive, sorry if this step isn't detailed enough.
ty =)
Dumb data base means, export, then import to new one? , if so it seems so easy
....export, then import to new one? , if so it seems so easy.
(Almost) Everything's easy once you've done it before. If you want a bigger challenge, export some
tables which use views, and don't have all the right things in place before importing.
Hope you were able to finish the move OK.
