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.
