In the next few days I will have to move my Photo Gallery installation from the actual webserver to a new one.
Is it better to:
a) perform a fresh install on the new machine and then add the contents of the old one ?
b) copy the entire folder with its directories to the new location ? (even hidden files ?)
In the first option, what files/folders should I copy to the new installation ?
Thank you,
Marco

Re: MOVING WEBSITE
Although you could do both, I would personally opt for a).
- Install a new minimal X3 in the new location.
- Make sure it's working properly, and check ?diagnostics.
- Delete dirs /config/ and /content/.
- Copy dirs /config/ and /content/ from old location into new location.
- Check ?diagnostics, login to panel and click "save" (refreshes cache), check website.

Copying the /config dir, the actual login-password (to access the panel) is inherited or I have have to set a new login-password when I install the minimal X3 ?mjau-mjau wrote: Although you could do both, I would personally opt for a).

When you copy the /config and /content dirs, EVERYTHING will get copied, including your username and password.marco963 wrote:Copying the /config dir, the actual login-password (to access the panel) is inherited or I have have to set a new login-password when I install the minimal X3 ?
