Re: Transferring to a new server?

take your ftp client and download all the files from server 1.

make a back up of your database.  i would do this with phpmyadmin.  your situation may be different.

take your ftp client and upload all the files to server 2.

edit your config.php to reflect new password and other variables if needed.

load the sql file from db1 to db2.

go to index.php and smile.

i may have skipped a thing or two.  this is off the top of my head, but it's really easy to do.

In addition to that, change your base URL in the database and delete the cache files.
