You need to open a help desk ticket and allow the techs to do it for you. You can click here to access the help desk.

 

Moving for organization.

You can use cpanel (on your old host) to backup your entire site from the old host, and ftp the backup file to your own computer.

 

Then, you ftp the backup file from your own computer to your TCH website folder, and use cpanel to restore the backup. Then delete the backup file to save space.

 

When the TCH tech's do it, they can ftp directly from old host to TCH. When you do it your self, you have to use your own computer as the middle guy.

 

Something to remember, if any of your scripts have absolute paths in the configs, you will probably have to change them for TCH. Your old host may have been /home/www/hft4344 and TCH may be /home/bob...

i submitted the ticket when i arrived to tch, and they moved the site for me.

i proposed this tutorial because i tried to move my site in that way (jandafields) but withous success!! i downloaded the full backup, and in cpanel, in the "backup" section, under "Restore a Home Backup" i uploaded the backup. The site wasn't ok, but in the main folder there was the file that i uploaded. then i deleted it and asked to you in a ticket

i suppose that there were some timeout problems, cause i uploaded 160mb @ 30kb/s

When you make the backup, it gives you a md5 to verify that it is downloaded correctly. If it wasn't working, it was probably corrupted like you said.

I never had any luck with the full backups,

so some time ago, I tried an experiment

With an extra domain,

in it's cpanel > backup

I skipped the full backup

and downloaded the home dir backup, and all below that link

databases, e-mail filters and alias.

Home Directory

Download a home directory Backup

Download a MySQL Database Backup

Aliases Filters

 

Then I terminated the domain account

The next day I created the account again with the same user and password

and uploaded the home backup and all the others using the same cpanel > backup page.

 

Restore a Home Backup

Restore a MySQL Database

Restore an Alias/Filter

 

And the site was restored.

A lot more work than if the techs did it,

but it worked for the same user/password.

 

If the user/password is differen't

I think you would have some editing to do.

 

Don't know if this helps.
