Hi guys,

I have the Domain Name a3oc.co.uk and will be moving over to a3forum.net shortly.

What is the most pain free way to move everything over to a3forum.net without having to do a complete file reupload?

Many thanks,

Tom K.

It depends on how you're doing this. If they are going to be hosted on the same account on a shared host, you will probably just have to change the domain in your control panel, then change the cookie settings in MyBB accordingly.

If you're using VPS' to do this, the easiest thing to do would probably be to zip up all of the files on the source VPS and then use WGET to download the files on the destination VPS and unzip, then change the settings on the forum to mirror these changes
