I may have to move my site lock stock and barrel to a new location. I have the whole site saved in a tar.gz zip file and I have the database.sql backup file. I have found a new XOOPS compatible server but I want to know if i can create a new blank XOOPS site and simply import my files and folders to the root location and install the saved database file? and how....

I run XOOPS 2.0.6:
