How migrate to a new server?

On the old server

(We consider that you have the latest version of the script)

  1. Backup your database (from the Admin panel → Backups)
  2. Backup all your website files (from the Admin panel → Backups)

On the new server

  1. Make sure you have all the components required on the new server, etc.
  2. Unzip the backup file and upload the website files except the /public/storage symbolic link file on your new server.
    NOTE: You have to make sure that all hidden files (the /.env and the .htaccess files) are uploaded to the new server.
  3. Don't make a fresh install
  4. Create a database for your new server
  5. Import the backup database (using phpMyAdmin)
  6. Open the /.env file in a text editor and edit it as you needed (Edit APP_URL if your domain has changed. Edit DB_* vars if your database settings have changed).

You are done.
