transfer C5 website

Permalink
I want to try to transfer or convert my existing C5 V5.6XXX website from my Linux server running Plesk Panel onto a Windows 2008 based server, without having to start all over again?????

How can I do this properly without loosing any elements of my Linux based website and Db????

I understand that there are possible issues somewhere somehow with the database converting or something

any thoughts OR step by step would be greatly appreciated.

If I do have to start all over again, what would I have to do to recover my pages, Database etc

thx

Hi ,

I think you can move , there should not be more issue , Here is the steps for moving site.

1. Backup file and db
2. upload files on windows server
3. Import db
4. change host,user name and password in config file.

This is the steps for moving site. Empty .htaccess file if there any issue.
