How to Transfer dotProject Website?

Transferring your dotProject website from another server can actually be a very simple task. Here are the steps that you will need to take:

Copy your website files to your new hosting account. To make the sites publicly accessible, you must upload the files in the /public_html/ directory or in a subfolder of the same directory. The files can be easily transferred via an FTP client like FileZilla. You may review our video FTP tutorials here:

Export your site database using a database management tool such as phpMyAdmin. You can do this by accessing phpMyAdmin from your hosting control panel, selecting the database you want to export, and using the Export option to download a copy.

Create a new MariaDB database using the Database Wizard in cPanel. Then, using phpMyAdmin, import the previously exported copy of the site database. To import it, simply open phpMyAdmin, select the newly created database, and use the Import feature to upload the exported file.

Finally edit your dotProject configuration file. The file is located in:

/path-to-dotProject/includes/config.php

Edit the following lines:

$dPconfig[‘dbname’] = ‘db_name’;

$dPconfig[‘dbuser’] = ‘db_user’;

$dPconfig[‘dbpass’] = ‘db_pass’;

Change db_name, db_user and db_pass with the database name, database user and database password that you have created earlier.

That’s it! You have successfully completed the transfer of your dotProject website.
