Typo3: website move - so it goes

You want to move your Typo3 website from one Server to another, a few steps are necessary. We will show you how to do it.

Relocation of the Typo3-website: preparations on the old Server

Via FTP, copy first the entire Typo3 Installation to your computer.
Since you also need your database for the new Server, you need to make a database Dump. Up to 100MB large databases you can back up via phpMyAdmin, and later re-import. A tutorial can you find here.
Larger databases, you back up with the command "mysqldump -h database-server -p -u MySQL-user ID database > file name.sql". Replace "database-server" with your database Server, "MySQL user ID" with your MySQL user ID, "database" the database in question, and finally, the "file name" with the desired file name. For this type of database backup you can use a MySQL Client such as SQuirreL install it on your system.

You have a backup of your Typo3-Installation from the old Server and a database Dump created, you can begin the move to the new Server.

First you have to download via FTP your Typo3-page to the new Server.
In the next step, you create a new database and import your database Dump. This works for smaller databases comfortable with phpMyAdmin. Larger databases, you improtieren with the command "mysql -h database-server -p -u MySQL-user ID database > file name.sql. You can replace the individual command components, as in the previous paragraph point 3 described.
To refer to the database, you must specify in the file "localconf.php" the data in the database, so the database user and password. If "Localhost" is not the right place, you must also enter the path to the database.
Now log in in the Browser on the new page and check in the install tool the directories. They should be marked all green.
Now the move should be complete and the page should be accessible on the new Server easily.

Also of your new Typo3 site you should regularly for security reasons a Backup of create.
