Moving CS-Cart installation to another server

1. Make a clean installation of the same version of CS-Cart on a new server.
2. Copy the config.php file of this new CS-Cart to your local computer (or rename it to avoid its overwriting during the next step).
3. Make a backup of the store database on the web site from which you wish to copy CS-Cart:
   1. Log in the administrator panel.
   2. Click on the DB Backup/Restore link in the ADMINISTRATION side box on the right.
   3. Enter a backup file name in the Backup file name field (i.e. my_database.sql) and click on the Backup button. The created file will be placed into the var/database/backup directory of your CS-Cart installation.
   4. Copy this file from this directory to your local computer.
4. Copy all the CS-Cart files (only modified or created) to the new server overwriting the clean installation.
5. Copy the config.php file of the clean installation back to the server.
6. Log in the panel of CS-Cart installed on the new server and restore the dump file (you have created during step 3):
   1. Upload this file on the DB Backup/Restore page and click on the Restore button.

As a result you will have the same copy of CS-Cart on the new server.
