Moving to new host
Permalink
Instead of moving our old webpage to a new host where I have been working on a concrete5 page we have decided to install it on our old host and move the CC5 page to it. I am a newb at concrete5 so I don't want to mess up my old website while I figure out how to finish my concrete5 project that I have been learning with (Flexcrete). Concrete5 is now installed as a subdomain of our existing website.
I have downloaded my root/themes/flexcrete folder but now I am not sure what to do next. I assume that I should upload that folder to the Concrete5 subdomain on my old host but what do I do about the license for flexcrete and various add-ons that I have downloaded and incorporated into my customized theme? Do I have to uninstall and release them all from my current cc5 hosts project and then redo everything after I get my project uploaded to our old host or is there some way I can move and reassign them to the project on our subdomain?

Thank you for replying to my post about moving my Flexcrete site to our current website server. I did clear my cache on Site A using the dashboard. I did not know that I also need to export my database. I'm so glad you told me.
When you say to zip the entire root dir on Site A do you mean the entire public_html/concrete directory?
Since Concrete5 was installed on my BlueHost (Site B) using Simple Scripts I understood that would create a database. I have never used a database on a website before - only simple html, some jscript, and simple style sheets. I don't understand what I am supposed to do when you say to update my config file details for Site B so that passwords and DB details match.

if correct then why not just do following:
1.Clear cache on Site A
2.Export DB for Site A
3.Zip entire root dir on site A
4.create new DB on site B and import part 2 above.
5.Upload and unzip part 3 above to your subdomain dir site B
6.Update your config file details for site B so that passwords and DB details match.
7.go to new site B and login, clear cache and run jobs.
Always remember to backup all site files before doing anything. PM me if require any further help.
