What is the procedure for moving an installation to a new location?

It should be simply copying all the files from the AsmBB directory to the new location.

After starting the forum on the new location, the "Host" and "SMTP server/port" parameter might need to be changed in accordance with the new server settings, but these are used only for the email sending process.

Another variant is to install AsmBB from scratch on the new server and then copy only the database file board.sqlite (before starting of the engine, of course). The plus with this approach is the engine upgrade to the latest version. The minus and the only risk is that if the database scheme is very old, it can be incompatible with the newest versions of AsmBB.

But, the database scheme is not changed often.

Of course, with previously created backups, you always can try different approaches without any risks of data lost. ;-)

Oh good, so I don't have to worry about permalinks in the database then. I think I'll try copying the db first, it's from the previous version. Presumably if the schema has changed this will be in the changelog.

Thanks :-)
