Re: zipping and dumping to a new server
Get a fresh tiki working on your local machine first to make sure that Tiki runs there fine. Then its just a case of mysql dump and reload to a blank database, FTP over the files and recorrect the db/local.php database values and run the setup.sh to setup the permissions or chmod accordingly.
Check the InstallTiki docs for your environment to make sure that you have everything set up correctly.
