Hi everybody!
I have to move my Eventum installation from a shared hosting environment to a virtual private server (VPS) and was wondering if somebody has a tutorial for such a procedure. If you do not have a tutorial, maybe you can provide me with some good advice along the road.
I am currently running Eventum version is 2.01.
I do not have shell access on my shared web host, but will have that on my VPS.
Can you create a mysqldump backup from your database? If so, you should be able to just install eventum on the VPS, then use the mysql command line command to load up your data from your dump. If you wanted to make things a little more clean, I would recommend doing one of these two things, based on which version the old eventum is:
1. Strip out the DROP TABLE and CREATE TABLE statements from a copy of your backup, so you are only loading your data (same version, shouldn't have any trouble).
2. Create the DB and the DB user then use your backup file unmodified to create all of your tables and populate them with your data. Then, connect to the new eventum website location for the first time (make sure you have the right DB config in there first).
I know you said you are version 2.0.1 of eventum, now. You could move over your stuff, installing 2.0.1 on the new system (the VPS) and then update to 2.1.1.
