Re: Moving files in folder - strategy?
Back here to report that I was able to make the transfer (database -> directory) in my new hosting server.
The folder I used was the /files folder inside my tiki installation. So the whole path as I see it with plesk -> files tab is /root directory/www.mysite.com/files with permissions 755 (rwx, r-x, r-x) for this folder and 644 (rw-, r- -, r- -) for all the files that were created during the transfer (after I pressed the "move files from database to directory button").
All these files have a long name like 0bf9cde136094db76b166f3ad35a0149 and browser says they are bin files. Actually, all of these were pictures with a couple of pdfs.
Let me put forward a few question, to check if I am doing ok or not.
(a) is the folder / files permissions correct and secure?
(b) is getting these bin files, instead of .jpb or .pdf files ok?
(c) if yes, how do I check these pictures with plesk? If I click them I get an "Unable to read the file or the file format is not supported" error message. Mmmm, why I was expecting a readable file format for these files?
(d) finally, my database should be a lot smaller now, right?
PS. I opened my site from another computer and every pic is in its position, so I believe not major damage done (at least regarding the readability of my site).
note: I am using 12.2
