first you must backup everithing related to Base (configuration files, web files .. etc) Backup of /etc directory is always advisable (mysql and php and apache2 configuration)
Prior to the restore you must create system users and mysql database users (sometimes users and password are stored in configuration files). If possible keep the paswords! If everithing fails you can do the folowing 1) Check the mysql old server's version and the new mysql new servers' version if different install the old's servers version in the new machine 2) Stop mysql server in old machine and copy the data preserving the permissions (cp -R --preserve=all) in Debian those files are in in /var/lib/mysql 3) Stop mysql server in new machine and copy the data from old machine (again cp -R --preserve=all) 4) Start mysql server in new machine It's possible that you need to do some mysql fixing .. I advice you to install phpmyadmin to create user and change mysql permissions It's also possible that you have to do some other fixings (host name? web directory? apache2 ?) in the configuration files Hope it helps Bob MacCallum escribió: > I second the mysqldump approach. > > but don't forget to copy the 'files' directory too > > moving to another host should be similar to restoring from a backup, which you > have already tried and tested, right? > > > > Martin Svensson writes: > > Hi, > > You could dump(e.g. mysqldump for MySQL) the related databases on the > > existing installation and rebuild them on the new host.
