> Moving Servers or Backingup the DB < 


Moving servers will require you to take the dump of the whole database of Albinator and put it back on the new server. To do this you can use the utility e.g. phpMyAdmin, else if you wish do it manually you can do so by the following procedure:

Taking Dump of the database:

  • Albinator 2 comes with a Database backup utility, it can take regular automatic backups, Goto Adminitration Panel > Configuration > Miscellaneous
  • Else if you want one-time dump, Goto Adminstration Panel > Database Backup
  • Click on take dump of all tables or take dump of Albinator tables

Alternate Way to take Dump

  • Login to your current server via Telnet,
    (if you don't have telnet access you will need your host to do the following process)

  • execute: mysqldump --opt -uUSERNAME -p currentDatabaseName > /backup.sql
  • Download backup.sql from the server

If you wish just to take backup, you need not follow the following steps...

Putting data on the new Server:

  • Login to your new server via Telnet,
  • Upload backup.sql in your root directory
  • Create the new datatbase (if you don't have one)
  • execute: mysql -uUSERNAME -p NewDatabaseName < /backup.sql
  • Finally: Edit essential/config.php and change settings of the database specific to your new server

You should be able to view the content on the new server.
