The following procedure describes the\u00a0basic needs<\/strong>\u00a0for\u00a0moving your magento-shop<\/strong>\u00a0to another server. There might be additional things to consider (changing domains, DNS, PHP-Configuration, tools & programms on your server) which need to take care of on your own.<\/p>\n

1. Backup files<\/strong>\u00a0in your Magento directory on your old server:<\/p>\n

You might empty your var\/cache, var\/session, var\/report and var\/log directory first to save space and speed up the backup<\/p>\n

2. Create a database dump<\/strong>\u00a0on your old server:<\/p>\n

Use phpMyAdmin, Chive or via console with mysqldump, n98-magerun<\/p>\n

3. Set up directory structure<\/strong>\u00a0for files and create database + user on your new server<\/p>\n

4. Move files and database dump<\/strong>\u00a0to your new server: via FTP, SSH,…<\/p>\n

5. Extract file-backup<\/strong>\u00a0to your new magento directory<\/p>\n

6. Check and set file-permissions<\/strong><\/p>\n

Usually 644 for files and 755 for folders.<\/p>\n

See also this question for more information:\u00a0What permissions should I give \/var and \/media?<\/a><\/p>\n

7. Import database-dump<\/strong>\u00a0on your new server:<\/p>\n

Use phpMyAdmin, Chive or via console with mysql, n98-magerun<\/p>\n

8. Update new database-settings<\/strong>\u00a0in app\/etc\/local.xml<\/p>\n

9. Update URLs<\/strong>\u00a0in core_config_data:<\/p>\n

You can edit the base_url via Web-Frontend (phpMyAdmin, Chive,…) or use these SQL-statements. You might need to edit the urls for your stores also.<\/p>\n

Look for\u00a0path =\"web\/unsecure\/base_url\"<\/code>\u00a0and\u00a0path=\"web\/secure\/base_url\"<\/code>\u00a0in the\u00a0core_config_data<\/code>\u00a0table.<\/p>\n

10. Empty var\/cache, var\/session, var\/report, var\/log<\/strong>\u00a0(if you did not do that before you created the backup on the old server)<\/p>\n

11. Reindex your data<\/strong>: catalog url rewrites<\/p>\n

12. Enjoy your beer!<\/strong><\/p>\n
