[Koha] Migrate all Koha data from old server to new server

[Joshua Ferraro]

Hi Greg,

Probably the safest way to proceed is to install Koha on the new server,
then just mysqldump the Koha database on the old server and restore it
to the new server. Something like this:

# mysqldump -ukohaadmin -pmypass --add-drop-table Koha > koha.sql
# scp koha.sql myuser at newserver.com:

Then on the new server:

# mysql -ukohaadmin -pmypass Koha < /home/myuser/koha.sql

Hope that helps, let us know how it goes.

Cheers,

I'm guessing that all I have to do is install Koha on the new server (meet prerequisites etc) and move across the MySQL data to the new server. Am I missing something critical?
