[Moodle] Moving a moodle site from one computer to another

[Stephen Bloomer]

It is not as hard as it sounds.  In short, set up the new computer from
scratch, putting in place a copy of the user files from the old site and
restore the db from a backup.  This way you can do all your testing
prior to going live.  When you have done your testing you will only have
to shut down the old site for a short time whilst you copy an updated
version of the db and user files.  You should only be down for an hour.

 

Give me a call if you need and we can go through the details. Don't
forget to apply the security to the XAMP if you are continuing down that
path.

Subject: [Moodle] Moving a moodle site from one computer to another

 

Hi folks

Is it possible to move a moodle  site from one computer to another. I
have one set up on an XP box with XAMP. The box is rapidly becoming
short on hard drive space.

Any help would be much appreciated

I am pretty new at all this

Regards

Richard
