Re: How to Export a Twiki to a New Host
Piece of cake. I've done it twice now with nothing more than FTP access. Here's how:
First, you'll need to move the database:
- Export a dump of your database. Use your DB Admin screen — not the Tiki backup function.
- Create the new DB on your new host, and import the dump (created in step 1).
Now you need to move the Tiki files:
- Download all the files in your /tiki directory from the old host
- FTP all the files to your new host.
- Set the permissions for the directories on the new host as indicated in the setperms.sh file.
Finally, reset your db connection for the new site.
- Go to yournewsite/tiki-install.php\
- Reset your db connection information.
- Do NOT install the DB, simply enter the site.

> Can someone lay out the steps needed to export an existing TWiki hosted site and then import it into another host running TWiki? I noticed a "dump" and an "export" link in Admin/Wiki, but I'm not sure if that's what I need to do. I do not have shell access with the hosted account.
