thanks for responding.
i had change the default.css with my original file
but i think mantis override it.
i migrate from old fedora (10 years old)
and mantis version 1.2.19
so I'm assuming that a lot had changed.

So you don't want just to migrate from one server to another server, but also upgrade from an older version of MantisBT to a newer one?

You have to export your database on the old server and import it on the new server.
Unpack MantisBT on the new server and follow the upgrade instructions from
https://www.mantisbt.org/docs/master/en ... ll.upgrade

Your changes to default.css will not work on latest version 2.x as quite a lot has been changed.
