Yeah, I read the FAQ: this is the recipe to migrate a site to another server.

But I am moving from one DirectAdmin server to another and I wonder if anybody's knowlegde would prevent me from doing it this way:

- backup the website
- download the backup from old server
- upload the backup on new server
- restore to backup on new server
- adapt DNS
- ready!

Anybody?

that should work..

you'll have to edit mainfile.php to make sure the actual Paths are correct though, and maybe possibly the db usernames/passwords etc. then clear templates_c & cache folders.

other than the above, you should be fine..

Here is an update for people using the search function:

- I did not have to adapt the password of the MySQL database: it was coppied by DirectAdmin
- I only had to adapt the location of the MySQL database in mainfile.php.
