A while back I saw a document around BoonEx or Expertzzz on how to move Dolphin from one server and/or directory to another. I'm switching providers and can't figure out how to move it over without loosing all the site's data/profiles/etc. I backuped from the current host (in tar.gz format) and transferred the files over using wget on the new server, untarred making sure to restore permissions. I've tried running install again but to no avail. Anyone know how to do this or where that document is located? I've been searching Trac for hours & can't find it.
Thanks!
Below is the legacy version of the Boonex site, maintained for Dolphin.Pro 7.x support.
The new Dolphin solution is powered by UNA Community Management System.

1) First of all, you need to back up your folders and files and your database tables. It usually results in creation of two archives (.tgz or .zip) which you will have to unpack on your new server/folder; besides, the database tables will have to be imported in your new database.
2) Dolphin 6 has several files which must be changed after transferring to another folder or server:
* inc/header.inc.php see more

have fun, gay life is so much better than the straights :)
i got a problem on changing this [path_to]. It cannot include the main header inc in rey/modules/global...
if I change php "error_reporting" to E_ALL the include ([path_to]inc/header.inc.php) always gives errors (and a lot undefined vars too)
I didn't find any definition of [path_to]. Where does it come from?
I moved all the files "outside" the Dolphin folder so that now the web address is simply http://gaywww.com
I made all the changes mentioned above, and all seems to work fine, EXCEPT, I'm getting the following "Warning" across the top to the screen:
