Restore Site

Normally it means that the ZIP file are the files of CMSMS.

The .sql is the content of the DB.

Transferring would mean that you could transfer the files to the new domain

Create a new db on that domain and import the .sql there.

I always use the installer then, where I untick the 2 options in step 5 (that would create tables+content) as that is already in the existing database. Running the installer makes the system generate the new config.php with all correct paths.

The existing config.php in the ZIP could be used then to check other settings, like prettyURL, page-extensions and so on...

That means no information on previous settings which basiclly blows it right out of my range

You need the informations of your new website host.

In the config.php that is in the zip-folder you will find the previous settings e.g.:

#-----------------
#Database Settings
#-----------------

#This is your database connection information. Name of the server,
#username, password and a database with proper permissions should
#all be setup before CMS Made Simple is installed.
$config['dbms'] = 'mysql';
$config['db_hostname'] = 'localhost';
$config['db_username'] = 'aUserName';
$config['db_password'] = 'aPassword';
$config['db_name'] = 'aDatabaseName';
#Change this param only if you know what you are doing
$config["db_port"] = '';
#----------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Hope that helps
