I thought I would spend my Saturday off attempting to transfer a full drupal site from one remote server to another.
My plan is download the entire contents of the website directory. Then use phpmyadmin to download a backup of the database table. modify the config file to reflect the new server details. Finally creating a new database on the new server and uploading my backup to create the tables and fill them with the website data.
Fingers crossed all goes and I’ll report back on how it all went 🙂

One thought on “Drupal Transfer”
Forgot to post my results, As mentioned in my post. the transfer went smoothly without a hitch at all. Might I also highly recommend FileZilla as your FTP client, have been using it for years and it has tabbed sites, making it much easier to navigate between the two servers. The phpmyadmin import worked flawlessly. However I haven’t seen much of a speed increase from the previous US server the site was hosted on to my current AU server. Even after clearing the caches and disabling some unnecessary plugins. Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated,
cheers
