How to change hosts or servers?

[ASI]

When changing hosts or servers what needs to be migrated to the new server and how and what steps need to be followed for it to work properly?

 

Doing a quick test run and its not working... Steps followed:

-Using cpanel on old server did a full backup using the backup wizard which was ftp'd to new server

-Extracted the backup public_html into the new server same exact location

-Backed up the original DB using cpanel database backup wizard.

-Restored DB backup into new server DB and added same user/password combo

-Edited conf_global.php to reflect new http location which is just an ip address for now since testing

-Both old and new have the same permissions for public_html

 

Thanks

No one knows how to move between servers/hosts nor what steps/procedures to take or follow?
