You just saved me a ton of "trial and errors"!! </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/move-form-software-to-new-host#post-23365 Mon, 01 Jun 2015 23:49:04 +0000 brenwa 23365@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>HI</p> <p>I figured it out over the weekend... took MANY failed tries.....</p> <p>What you are suggest sounds logical... but there is an issue exporting the entire database...... for anyone else needing to do this... you have to export the database tables only.</p> <p>Every host I have ever used has a slightly different setup for database naming (mysql), and you cant easily export a database then import it to a different host... because the name inside the database itself cant be easily changed... you can however create the new database... at the new host</p> <p>then export only the tables of the old database .. then import them into the new one... make the changes on your config file and upload the form software to the new host...</p> <p>job done </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/move-form-software-to-new-host#post-23358 Sun, 31 May 2015 04:16:38 +0000 novgrp 23358@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>I would assume you could do a export of the database ... import database on new server. Download all files (change the config file if there are any username or password changes). Upload to new host and make sure the data folder is set to 755 (some hosts require 777, but try to stick with 755 if it works).
