What is the procedure for migrating WebBoard from one server to another?
Procedures for migration vary from instance to instance. Depending on the situation, what’s usually involved is: a) installing WebBoard on the new machine to the same path as the old machine, b) creating a proper DSN on the new machine and restoring the database to the new instance from a backup taken from the old instance, and c) copying the contents of the \webboard\confs\ and \webboard\upload\ folders to the new machine (these contain the message bodies and attachments respectively). Migrations are typically a more complex process than upgrades due to the extra steps needed to ensure proper installation and the unique system environments involved For this process, we urge you to contact our support team.
