Guest notting Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 Hi guys, I have a cubecart store here: http://www.theafricangreyparrot.com/store/ but I wish to transfer it to another domain and server. What steps do i need to take in order to do this? If you need any more information please let me know Thanks for your help. Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vokf Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 Hi, as this is a cPanel system, its fairly easy. You can either ask your new host to copy the account (you'll supply them with the account details on your old server) - its fairly quick.. The other way is to generate home directory backup, and then a mysql database backup. Download these - double-check they look ok (the database back-up will contain lots of SQL statements, you can open it in notepad) On your new host, providing it is also cPanel based, you should be able to restore from these back-ups. View the cPanel video tutorial. I also assume you'll have some kind of overlap, ie won't halt the old account immediently. Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robsta Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 This might help. Although it doesn't cover the specific details of moving your database between servers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
