The site is build using PHP and MySql. Thanks jacobcolton 01-08-2010, 01:47 PM Hi deepman007, In theory it should be quite simple. Just take a backup of the site files and database. Then upload the site files to the new sever, restore the database. You then will probably need to update a few configuration things e.g. absolute paths to files and the database connection string. Once that is all done and has been tested, just update the DNS. Regards, Jacob jacobcolton 01-08-2010, 01:51 PM Ah, yes and you will probably need to move the SSL certificate as well. Regards, Jacob deepman007 01-08-2010, 01:56 PM so i shouldn't take down the current live site rite? jacobcolton 01-08-2010, 02:02 PM Leave the current site live for the moment, there is no need to take it down. |
