Any user of WebAsyst online services may purchase WebAsyst PHP scripts to install them on a virtual web hosting or a dedicated server. Quite often it is necessary to back up all information in the existing account to move it to your own server.
We will assist you in moving all your personal data by preparing a backup of all saved information and uploaded files. A backup file will be sent to the account owner free of charge once we receive a corresponding inquiry via email.
How to copy data from the backup archive to your server
- Install WebAsyst scripts on your server.
- Unpack the provided backup archive on your computer.
- Copy the contents of the extracted data/ directory to subdirectory data/DATABASE_KEY/ in the WebAsyst installation directory on the server. Choose to replace existing files and directories if prompted.
- Copy the contents of the extracted directory publicdata/ to subdirectory published/publicdata/DATABASE_KEY/ in the WebAsyst installation directory on the server. Choose to replace existing files and directories if prompted.
- Set sufficient permissions for the files and directories uploaded to the server to ensure correct functioning of the WebAsyst scripts, as described in the installation manual in section "Protecting WebAsyst after installation".
- Delete all tables from the database which were created during the installation of WebAsyst scripts in step 1.
Note: If your database also contains tables with the data relating to other applications than WebAsyst, then delete only those tables which were created during the installation of WebAsyst and keep the rest intact.
- Import the extracted SQL file to the same database.
Tip: Various actions on databases can be performed using phpMyAdmin or other similar tools available in your web-hosting account interface.
