i am new to drupal and set up a nice site on (EXAMPLES)

subdomain.hosting.com

my domainname i need for that site is (EXAMPLE) www.mysite.com where i have an old site running (not drupal).

SO i have drupal 5.1 drunning on subdomain.hosting.com and need to move the whole site to www.mysite.com

I am familiar with everything hosting and mysql related, i just need to know whether i can move a drupal installation easily and what do i need to know in regards to drupal.....so the NEW site (formerly subdomain.hosting.com) running on my real domain www.mysite.com fine in a few days.

thank you !!!

YOu have to export the database from mysql server, export it directly from the mysql and then move all the files to another location on your server, point the domain to new location, when the files are moved import the mysql database to the newserver

if the server is the same and if you are not moving to another server you do not have to export the database!!!

Just change the configuration in the config file of the drupal and voila

also you would have to talk to your host because your post does not give me enough tinfo

What about moving the whole entirely drupal multisite and database to another machine with a different domain or subdomain
and also how to backup drupal multisites

i assume with "configuration" you mean the settings.php in the "sites" folder ?

thanks
