Moving to another server

classroombookings doesn't have a built-in process for moving an installation to another server but it can be done manually fairly easily using the command line or other tools.

Summary

• On the source server:
  • Backup/export the database to a .sql file (using mysqldump)
  • Make a copy of all the files in the installation folder.
• On the destination server:
  • Create a database and user (similar to the installation process).
  • Import the .sql file (using the mysql command).
  • Place the files in the installation folder.
  • Reset file/folder permissions, if necessary. (See installation).
  • Edit the local/config.php file:
    • Add your new database credentials.
    • Update the URL if it has changed.
