Migrate site from host to host. How?

Permalink
I have a client who wants a site shifted from one host to another.

I have all the templates, stylesheets etc as well as a .sql backup file.

What is the best/easiest way to migrate the file? I am not a programmer so instructions will need to be simple...

thanks

Have a look at the docs for Backup Voodoo. Even if you don't use Voodoo, the docs include useful info and links to relevant howtos.

Just export the existing dtabase as .sql. Replace all the existance if oldsite link path with new site link path from the sql file. Now import this .sql file in new derver database.
Upload all the files to new server. open the site.php file in newsite/config folder change the database configuration there. Now you can see all the things of your old website in your new website.
