Mantis Migration

[scobb]

Am preparing to migrate Mantis from old server to new. High-level steps I've put together thus far...
1. Assign Web Services role to new server
2. Install and config PHP on new
3. Install and config MySQL on new
4. Install and config Mantis on new
5. Export database on old server
6. Import database on new server
7. Copy MantisBT files (*.php, ...) from your old server to the new
8. Adjust config_inc.php (database user, database password, ...)
9. If your attachments are stored in filesystem (not database), copy your directories with attachments from your old web server to the new one
10. The easiest way would be to use the same directory structure
11. Check that the system is running fine on the new server

Anything I am missing or that should be added? Anyone have any input/suggestions/documentation/etc...?

Seems you have found my old post viewtopic.php?f=2&t=22510&p=55694
Your step 4 is wrong

Code: Select all

4.	Install and config Mantis on new

as this would collide with step 7

Code: Select all

7.	Copy MantisBT files (*.php, ...) from your old server to the new

Yes, I did base steps on your post.
Where can I get more info on "Export Database" and "Import Database"? I imagine this has entirely to do with MySQL?

Right
