Otsikko: Which should come first and can it be done?
Kirjoitti: tk2012 - maaliskuu 04, 2009, 05:30:51 IP
I have two things which are going to need to be completed in the next couple weeks.

A)  I need to upgrade from B4 to RC1.  As usual, I haven't done this because I have a lot of mods installed and just don't have the time to do the edits in order to add them all back again, but I will in a couple weeks.

B)  My forum is changing its domain name.  We are expanding and I don't want to lose my members and posts and things, so I'm hopeful you can switch domains without having to start all over from a barren forum.


So, my questions are:

1)  Can I keep my forum database and forum files and switch to a different domain name?

2)  If it is possible, which should I do first?  The upgrade to RC1 or the domain switch?

I suggest the upgrade before the server switch, it will work anyways, but I'd upgrade first :)
...and yes, you can restore your database along will all forum files on the new host.
