    • Migrating Tiki to a New Server?

    Posted by Melissa posts: 31 United States

    Does anyone know how to migrate Tiki from one location to another? I couldn't find a migration doc.

    I want to move it from \subdomain\domain\tiki to newdomain\. Thus, have a set up a brand-new root structure and IP. Obviously, I can copy all the files across, but what do I need to do to transfer the data?

    In other words, how do I make sure the data follows?

    In the Tiki SQL FAQ it states:

    Q: How do I dump mySQL database?
    A: To dump the db use
    mysqldump -u tiki -p tikidb > tikidump.sql
    where
    tiki is the username to connect to db
    tikidb is the name of the database holding tiki tables
    tikidump.sql is a text file with everything to recreate the db
    (you are them prompted for a password, use tiki user db password)

    BUT-- where does that command line operation take place?

    I tried this in command line with few success. After that I broke my Tiki database 😛
    But this was my fault. In latest phpMyAdmin version (which EasyPHP doesn't provide in it's stable version yet 😑 ) there's a export/import feature normally.

    I think I'll use PHPAdmin to export and do a fresh install on my new server. (Rats! I was hoping for a quick fix.)

    I tried the import with PHPMyAdmin, but the darn thing "exceeds the maximum" timeout allowed before completing the upload. Anyone know how to increase this timeout?

    I am not the uberadmin of this server, so I'm not sure I have access to the MySQL config file, nor would I know where to find it.
