Migrating from Old Linux Godaddy Hosting to New Cpannel Linux hosting in Godaddy

[prmag]

I need to know the procedure to Migrating from Old Linux Godaddy Hosting to New Cpannel Linux hosting in Godaddy in easy English please.

 

Is there is a tutorial on this? Or can someone correct me in the way I think It should be done. This is what I think;

 

make a backup of all files

make a database backup

upload everything to the new hosting

find the specific file that names the database name, password and path to the database and modify the new path. Does anyone knows?

Create a new database with the same name and password

 

This is my humble or "stupid" way of what i will do but i will appreciate is someone can show me the correct way to do it. Thanks to all!!!

Thank you Ken I will give it a shot. I found that using installatron has a tool for importing and existing installation but I have used and it installs a inclomplete prestashop site. If this Installatron doesn't works I will try it manually. Thank you again!!

Do I have to upload or download files in binary mode, ASCII or auto mode? because some scripts only work on binary mode.??? Thanks

@prmag,

 

Thanks for your reply and patience with my response.

 

You would need to check your scripts to find out which need to be uploaded in Binary or ASCII mode then upload them accordingly.
