PHP BB Question

[True_Snake]

Hey guys!

I wanted to ask you a question.

My friend has a php bb forum with his current hosting. And he's thinking of changing hosts. So is there a way to move all the information (i.e: member info, previous posts, etc.) to a new host. Is there a way to "save" these things?

If yes, how:D?

Thanks!

You just have to backup first (old host) and then restore (new host) the forum database. It's in the forum management-database (something like that) if I remember well...

You could always go into phpmyadmin if you have it and just export the database and download the forum

- The best way.

phpBB backups using the included utility almost always fail. Do a Google search on it and you'll see :bah:
