Forum question

[gcobb]

I'm working on doing a server move too. I've got to get the web sites TAR'd and moved, MySQL databases restored, and probably spend a few days changing info in INI files. What a pain in the arse.

Did you load a new server and just move things to it?

I'm pretty interested in knowing one thing though. How the hell did you get phpBB2 to embed? I know there is a mod out for it, but you're not showing right blocks and I want to get rid of those too. It doesn't look like the same mod that I've seen going around and installed.

Yes. I have done it several times, moved the forum back and forth between servers and it works great.

Most "mods" have I done myself. To change the layout you can kinda easy change that in the templates files, no php skills required only html.

Damn, another project... LOL

I can do the HTML part. I'm just about to set up another server, change the machine name and will need to move the web sites over. Several are PHP. I'm just wondering it I TAR them up and untar them with permissions if that'll be useable...outside the obvious MySQL concerns.

I loaded Mandrake 8.2 and it went good. Then I loaded 9.0 and didn't like the install for a few reasons. I may go on and download Redhat to see if it's any better.

I may do the embed thing at some point, I've jsut got a few other things I'm buried in.
