I recently moved our CRM to one of our new server and I have to tell you it was a fairly painless project.

Here is how I did it.

1) I backed up the www folder on the server and the MySQl database using Webmin. (All hail webmin. Don't leave home without it.)

2) I copied these backup files to the new server using sftp protocol.

3) On the new server I restored the www files to the proper directory.

4) I restored the MySQL databese using webmin (All hail webmin, etc.)

5) I modified the lines in the configuration.php files where the server paths are mentioned.


That was it. Suprisingly easy (if you have some knowledge about these things.)


These were the settings I had to modify in config.inc.php

$dbconfig['db_username'] = 'web53u1';
$dbconfig['db_password'] = '******';
$dbconfig['db_name'] = 'web53db1';


Hope this helps you.
