Warzone Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 Hello, does anyone have any experience with moving an entire IPB, sql ect to another server(VPS/dedicated with Cpanel)If you do, could you please send me a message?
Bluto Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 Just go to "Transfers" in WHM and you can move an entire remote cpanel account.

fadedturbulence Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 Also cPanel has a great backup tool, allows you to backup all databases, files and settings. You should then be able to re-import very easily with the new cPanel.Only other part that needs changing on IPB side is in the config file, the directory path & URL (if folder/file structure changes from server to server) will need to be changed. (And possibly some DB info, if you change something there on the new system)Thats it. It's actually extremely easy to move servers. Also best practice is to have the new server be on the same script languages if possible (mysql/php), lesser chance of something going wrong (compatibilities, etc.)
