Mantis Bug Tracker - Forums

Hi,

Can I copy the entire Mantis db (including all the bugs already reported in it) to another machine?
Of course this is assuming the other machine has an AMP platform
.(Apache,mySQL,PHP)

Has someone done this succesfully ? What are the files/folders to be copied? Any things or settings to watch out for?

Thanks.

Havent tried it the way you want to. Basically i wanted to replicate the mantis system on localhost so i can try out tweaks on the php without compromising the main system.

the SQL db stuff is at: <your server path>/mysql/data/bugtracker

In theory all you should need to do is copy that database folder over, along with any files you have tweaked in your mantis installation, notably at <your webserver html docs folder>/mantis/config_inc.php

Let us know if this approach works. I didnt have access to my companys sql folder at the time so i just did a phpmyadmin dump of the database and recreated it that way on my local setup so i havent tried this.
