Hey All,

I am currently running FUDforum 2.3.8. and will be moving it to a linux server from a windows server and then upgrading to the latest version.

How does one go about moving servers?

Cheers
Peter Verrill

Use the dump control panel to generate a data dump.
Install FUDforum 2.3.8 on the new server
User import control panel to import the previously generated data dump.

Well, the alternative is to copy over all SQL data and forum's files. Then modify GLOBALS.php (the one inside the include/ directory) to correspond with new file paths. After that login & rebuild the theme.
