[Xerte] Re: Moving XOT to a new host

[Ron Mitchell]

I've migrated installations and found the easiest method is to backup and
restore the whole database and directory of files and folders, move to the
new server and then change the relevant values in sitedetails and obviously
database.php

Alternatively there are at least 3 database tables that would need to be
copied to a new install as well as the USER-FILES directory.

Sorry, I meant "if I knew what I was doing". I wasn't able to sort out the
MySQL data. Instead I had to log in as a variety of users and recreate 45
projects in the order that they were originally created. (Isn't that what
Sundays are for?)

So perhaps someone else should have a go and, if successful, write down the
steps!

Also, I am still using version 1.5.

I did discover that the host and database names in database.php weren't
updated. I had to edit this file.

Write down the steps you took, and I'll make a migration guide to go 
with the install guide :)
