BK87 Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 yes you can do that, if you want my company can transfer for you $10-20 (depending on forum size)... takes approx. 1hr or so. but if you wanna do it your self then... copy all file from server A to server B then copy mysql database from server A to server B if you have cpanel on both servers, then you can just do a "backup" of your server, and then upload it to server B and unzip the file there.. have fun adios Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/83246-how-to-transfer-all-my-forum-with-all-posts/#findComment-423470 Share on other sites More sharing options...
revraz Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 Don't really need a cpanel to do a backup/restore, you can use PHPMyAdmin as well.

PHP_PhREEEk Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 The forums and related mods are only files. You can take them over manually, or have CPanel back them up and unpack them at the new host. The new host may have CPanel -> Cpanel transfers available. You can't do it, but they can. Ask them. It ends up an exact mirror of your site, including email and MySQL databases. All you do is switch your nameserver and go. If this isn't possible, and you can move the files over manually, then all you need to do is grab your database(s). You can use phpMyAdmin to export to a SQL file, or again, use CPanel's backup page to do a DB backup. Simple stuff....

revraz Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 Export/Import the database. The php and other files you can just copy. And if you have a temp URL, you dont have to wait for the domain.
