Hi Team,
I'm using server which is having drupal 6, whm/cpanel and all and now migrating the data/sites to another server which doesn't have whem/cpanel. My friends told that copying drupal from old to new server will works. But after copying I'm not getting admin link and most of my sites are coming blank screen(total white). I've connected all the databases, configured php and all. But I'm facing same issue. Please let me know whether I need install drupal freshly or do I need to change anything in the copied drupal contents/settings
Regards
Rath

Process to migrate to new server
Hi,
These steps may help you.
Step 1: Copy your drupal instance to new server.
Step 2: Clear the cache tables of database.
Step 3: Export entire database as sql file.
Step 4: Import the sql file in new server.
Step 5: Change settings.php file with your new instance database name, user name and password. you have to change the below line in settings.php
$db_url = 'mysqli://mysqlusername:password@localhost/databasename';
Step 6: Save the settings.php file.
You are done :-)

Process to migrate to new server
Hi,
I've already done all the steps you have mentioned above. before connecting the DB, the site says ''offline'' but after connecting the DB with user id/password as per setting.php. But after this most of the sites are showing blank page.I've checked error logs of apache and couldn't find any errors. So I just got stuck here. Please help me.
Regards
