My blog is currently hosted as a subdomain and needs to be relocated to its own hosting account. How easy is it to pick up and move my back-up? Do I lose anything in doing so? Do I need to reinstall b2 and then restore the backup or can I simply ftp everything from one account to another?
- move all files, move the database
- make sure b2evolution can connect to the DB - open yournewdomain.tld/admin.php, login screen must be displayed
- edit base URL in /conf/basic_config.php
- login into control panel and edit blog URL on Blog settings > URLs
The whole process should take less than 5 minutes, you won't loose any data.
By the way, you may want to redirect all traffic to your new domain. Put this in .htaccess file on the old domain
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule (.*) http://yournewdomain.tld/$1 [R=301,L]
