Topic: moving forum to another hosting

I run punbb forum with certain mods and now I decided to move the forum to another provider. What shall I do in order to preserve functionality of the forum?

[i tried to make backup of all the files and database and tried to restore it on localhost with apache&mysql installed, but I couldn't log into such a moved forum! sad , even with newly created account]

Try requesting a new password and logging in with that.

And could you describe the right procedure of moving the forum (with installed mods) to another server?

Backup the database and the scripts. Restore them onto the new server, update config.php and change Base URL (if affected).
