Moving A Dolphin Installation

I was wondering if anyone could give any info on moving an existing dolphin installation from a sub domain (used as a test site) to my main website?

I dont want to have to reinstall the software, just simply want to move it so it takes over the main website and replaces the existing software I use. I am not sure what needs to be changed exactly in order to ensure everything works fine with the software.

I also currently use a system at the moment which I am replacing with dolphin, and need to migrate my existing members of that software to dolphin - is this something that can also be easily done - I want username; email address; and a password (or temp password) to transfer over. I use cPanel at present - I think its strange the Dolphin software doesn't have an option in the admin CP to migrate user info to it like most software can.

Thanks

Should be able to just move the directories over into the root folder and then edit the 2 areas below inc/header.inc.php file:

$site['url']

$dir['root']

Cheers Bud,

Do you know much about being able to add a database from another software system to dolphin and whether this is something that can easily be done, I want to try and get my current users (username, email address, and password or temp password) over to my dolphin installation.

If you mean that you want to have another script's content be transferred into Dolphin, you'll have to hire a developer to do this.

I did this and the site loaded fine, but it seems any of the modules dont work such as Forums and Chat Room...

... Any Ideas?

I am sure everyone is tired of hearing it, but make sure your admin cache is cleared or /cache and /cache_public except for .htaccess.

Also, make sure that you moved the .htaccess file that was located in the root of your previous dolphin install. Depending on how you moved/copied it, you may not have seen the .htaccess file if you used something like File Manager in cPanel. If so, then try using an FTP client.

Already did a cache clear and this didnt resolve the access issue to forums and chat.

Will take a look at the .htaccess option as I did move files using cpanel originally, so will check that out.

htaccess file is there according to FTP client, and the forums and chat rooms still wont load.

I just get back to the main page although the url changes and looks like I have gone to the correct area, and in the main page of the site where the forum feeds show its just searching all the time... Events module doesn't seem to want to work either.

Yeah.. it doesnt seem that any of your links are working properly. I would suggest using an FTP client and re-upload the .htaccess file from original Dolphin package (newest of course)  you downloaded and see if that works.

Readding the file and overriding the existing one seemed to of worked, had to reset everything up mind you but thats no biggy as long as its working :)

Cheers for all your help bud
