shiryon Posted July 6, 2005 Posted July 6, 2005 (edited) When my group started we had decided to make a separate site for the group which was separate from my site. Now we see one site will suffice. My question is can a forum with all posts and sign in info be moved from one domain to another. thanks Shiryon IDF Armour group Edited July 6, 2005 by shiryon Quote
TCH-Don Posted July 6, 2005 Posted July 6, 2005 Welcome to the forums shiryon This is rough discription of how to do it. You can download the current forum folder to your computer. in your cpanel > mysql create the database for the new forum create the user add the user to the database Where you downloaded the forum files, edit the config file for whatever forum it is to reflect the different db name, user and password. Upload the forum folder to the desired location. Then on the old forum site goto mysql at the bottom of mysql goto phpmyadmin select database on the left after it loads, click export, click select all below the word export check below save as file, compression zipped click GO at right select save to disk browse to a folder on your computer then in cpanel for new forum location goto mysql at the bottom of mysql goto phpmyadmin the left select the new forum database select at top SQL at bottom find Location of the textfile: browse to file on your computer leave compression on autodetect, click go wait and the database data will load.
