Hi Riccardo,

Since you can't copy the needed software packages directly from one system to another (even if the systems are identical, they must be configured/installed to interact properly with the OS), I guess the best route is to:

1) Install a new empty installation of BASE with the same version on your new system (must be same version of the database schema).

2) Dump your data from the old systems database (SQL DUMP) and import it into your new systems database (commands differ between MySQL and PostgreSQL here, and probably a bit of DB experience is required to succeed with such a task).

3) Copy your <base>/data directory from the old to the new system


There might be some pitfalls on the way, and I actually don't know of anyone that have completed such a move before...

Have you considered to buy some extra disks to your old system instead ? Then you can move only your <base>/data directory to the new disk and change one parameter: the path to the data directory in your config.inc.php file.

That's probably a lot easier and I know it first hand that it's doable:)

But you must of course consider if it's worth while to upgrade the old machine with a new disk.

Cheers,
Kjell
