pipsi Posted October 3, 2025 Report Share Posted October 3, 2025 I'll change hosting provider on OCT 19th, 2025. I have questions regarding TNG: I'll save everything via FTP and Database via myphpadmin Then transfer to the new hosting provider the other way round TNG - Do I need to reinstall TNG, or is it sufficient to transfer it via FTP? And how to connect with the new Database? sorry for stupid questions, but never did a provider change before, and for me (my brain) are the steps unclear! Thank you for inputs, Ingrid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Lloyd Posted October 4, 2025 Report Share Posted October 4, 2025 You will need to instal TNG on your new host to create the DB and config files etc asfaik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip Roy Posted October 5, 2025 Report Share Posted October 5, 2025 (edited) Disagree if you are suggesting a new install is needed. Here's what I suggest... Copy all the files from the old host to the new host Make sure that the version of php running is the same On the new host, create a new database using phpMyAdmin. You will also need to create a new db user on the new host In phpMyAdmin, select the new database and use the import function to import your exported database from the old host Find your config files on the new host (that you FTP'd to the new host) and alter the db user, the name of the database (as this has likely changed with the move) and the new db password Change any other settings, such as the path to the install You should be good to go Note, some hosting sites will do this stuff for you if you just give them all the file Edited October 5, 2025 by Philip Roy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip Roy Posted October 5, 2025 Report Share Posted October 5, 2025 See this, written by me... https://tng.lythgoes.net/wiki/index.php/Copying_your_local_TNG_website_from_your_Mac_or_PC_to_your_web_hosting_provider_for_the_first_time Start from the heading "Create a database on your web hosting server and import the local TNG database to it". The concepts there are more or less the same as a host to host transfer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
