All content (except for file
All content (except for file attachments) is stored in the database. You can back up your entire database with the backup/migrate module. Then use a program like PHPMyAdmin to import the database tables you backed up for your new site.
Backup Database
If you want to move the database from one host the other, you need to back the database up and inport it into your new hosting environment. Usually your hosing company will have some videos on how to do this. Usually there will be something to help you in your CPanel.
Some hosts will offer to move you from your old host to the new one for free.
Basically, you just:
Backup the database
Download it to your computer
Login to yur CPanel
Go to the database manager
Select upload database
Find the database on your computer
Tell it OK
Wait for it to finish uploading
Change your setting in your settings file to reflect the new database name and location.
Hope that helps you.
Where is this setting file ?
Where is this settings file... give me a file location
Settings file
Hi,
the Settings file is in
\sites\default\settings.php
In this File you can find a line like
$db_url = 'mysqli://user:password@localhost/name_of_database';
where you must enter your correct data for the database.
For backing up and restoring the database, i like tu use mysqldumper, dowmload at http://www.mysqldumper.net/

it's the one you're asked to
it's the one you're asked to create during any Drupal installation: sites/all/default/settings.php
It says Internal server error
in the settings all i have to change is the name of the database right ? When i do that it gives me this on the site.... "Internal server error"
it won't let me !!
550 Could not delete settings.php: Permission denied !! Thats what it says when i try to delete the old setting.php ... and if i try to overwrite it this is what pops up:
Response: 553 Can't open that file: Permission denied
Error: Critical file transfer error
please help by the way i am using Filezilla
that's a permission
that's a permission problem. The settings.php file is made read-only after you install drupal. you have to change it back to a permission thatallows you to edit it
can you change the permission on that settings.php file in FileZilla? I don't use FIleZilla, but the command could be maybe be called "CHMOD" or "change permission" or something like that.
