Moving Mantis to another web server?

Jamie · Post by **Jamie** » 05 Dec 2005, 20:36

Hi all,

I am changing webhosts and would like to take my Mantis installation with me. Are there are tutorials out there on how to do this (i.e. exporting and re-importing the SQL DB, re-configuring the installation or installing from scratch, etc.)?

Thanks for your help!

At the moment, this is not documented anywhere. However, following is a start:

- Use phpMyAdmin to download the SQL export of the database. If youhave CPanel, then phpMyAdmin will be pre-installed for you.

- Backup the source code.

- Backup the attachments (if you are using DISK as the storage).

- Create database on new hosting environment.

- Create user and assign access to the created database.

- Upload source code + attachments.

- Revise config_inc.php

By the way, did you checkout Mantis Hosted?
