control panel?

 

[DJboutit]

Yes I am using Cpanel

Easiest way is to give your new host your old login info and they'll move it for you. Is that an option?

 

[DJboutit]

Nope old host says I am on my own

 

[Jesse]

No I mean ask your new host. Your old host would say no for sure.

 

[DJboutit]

I am no my own they will do nothing to setup my site

buddy, just note the important things about installed forum script in notepad..

eg:
INstalled script name
Installed addons
modification done abd other changes...
take back up of database

then in new host do the changes, and then click add backup/restore, now restore your backup

if ou have cpanel, it will be easy

Ah.
- disable posting in mybb
- go to cpanel on your old host. Backups --> Home Directory/MySQL Database/Forwarders. Download each of them
- go to new cpanel. Click Backups --> beside where you downloaded backups, click restore and restore Home Directory/MySQL Database/Forwarders

Go to MySQL on the main page. Create a user. There is a config file somewhere in mybb that has the user/pass for the database. Use that file to make a new user with the same pass. Then assign it to the database you restored.

Oh and change your name servers. Wait a few hours then enable posting.
