I volunteered to re-design a non-profit group's website that I belong to and I decided to use the XOOPS CMS after a long debate. Thanks to everyone that has helped me develop the site over these last few months. I'm almost done and ready to move my new site I have created for them on to their server. I have built the new site on my own shared server plan. How do I move the new XOOPS site that I have created on to their current server?

I spoke with the hosting plan that they use and it is XOOPS compliant (though they do not have XOOPS on their site right now). But the versions are not quite the same as what I have on the test site that I have built. My test site has: Apache 1.3.31; PHP 4.3.7; and MySQL 4.0.20 - standard. Their plan uses: Apache 1.3.27; PHP 4.3.4; and MySQL 4.0.15.

What are the exact steps I have to take to move my test site to their site?

Thanks to everyone that has helped me out so far.

If you have to export your database.

Second step you FTP the Files Down
Edit the mainfile.php to your new host
FTP UP and set the permissions on the folders / files like you are installing.

cache/adminmenu.php should be set to 666 otherwise you get an error in the admin side of things.

Create your database with the same name, userID and password as before
Import your sql file through phpMyAdmin click on SQL and run it through there.

You are right Arowana, but the way he meant is the server compabilities.
He has two different versions and I suggest you backup before you try the lower versions.

I'm using
Apache: 1.3.31
PHP version: 4.3.8-9
MySQL version: 4.0.20
