moving store to new hosting company

[barrystein]

I have a current 1.4.9 shop running at Rackspace Cloud Sites.

I want to move to Bluehost.

I move the files over, and the database, but have php mail issues...

 

I am thinking that moving to a new hosting company,

possibly I should do a clean install of prestashop.

 

I did a one click upgrade to 1.5.4 but still have php mail issues.

That it says is a configuration problem.

 

A clean new install of 1.5.4 does not have those php mail issues.

I assume that the new clean install somehow sets the configuration properly to work within the hosting environment it is being installed in.

 

So how do I get my current database, upgraded and part of a new clean install.

The database is upgraded to 1.5.4 from the one click upgrade,

but are some of the configuration issues already built into it?

 

Should I do a clean install, with and let it generate a brand new database, then change the database to mine....

Or should I do a new clean install, but when it asks for database info, give it the current database I have.....
