Post by happydg »

Hello,

How do i transfer site from server to another.

If i understand correctly according to this page http://www.smartcj.com/wiki/doku.php?id=server_moves I Have to install a new copy on the new server and do a mysql backup.

But how do i transfer galleries/thumbs to the new server?

Thank you.

Hi !
Just copy your thumbs folder (usually scj/thumbs)

Do you need to have the same smartcj version?

Do i need to update to the latest version on the old server? Could you please remind me the ssh update command if it's needed?

Thank you.

He didn't send me any details so I was unable to investigate the issue.

So there are 2 options:

1. move the DB using mysqldump tool in ssh
2. send me ssh access to I dig into the issue
