Hello,
Have several CMS licenses and want to move the entire cms contents from one domain to the new domain in other words a clone of existing site but different logos etc
What is the best way to drop the entire cms content into the new site?
Should I start by first by installing a fresh copy of the cms & entering the new serial number
Then import sql dump of all tables etc etc ?
Thanks Mel

Hi Mel,
- Start by doing a SQL dump and moving that over
- Then copy your /cmsAdmin/ folder over to the new site
- Then update your /data/settings.dat.cgi and update your mysql info.
- Then update your upload paths under: Admin > General
For the most part that should do it. If the upload paths have changed you may need to do a search and replace on the old path to the new path in MySQL. But try those basic steps first and let me know how it goes.
Hope that helps!

We went through the same process recently Mel. The simple structure of CMSB makes it quite straightforward. You'll probably be pleasantly surprised at how easy it is.

It was just as you said and the only other thing I needed to update was the include pathways in some of my static pages
And yes J you were right I was pleasantly surprised - really easy to move over
Thanks Mel :)
