I’ve done it.
- I installed a new forum at forum.craftbeertr.com
- Set both instances of forum to read only mode
- Downloaded a 2 GB zip file of the old forum
- Restored the new forum
- Asked a couple of people to test and they were able to log in.
- Changed the nameserver info at Godaddy
And now waiting for the DNS info to update.
forum.craftbeertr.com (kind of) works, but craftbeertr.com still points to the old server. I am trying to make www.craftbeertr.com to point to the new server now but at the moment it returns a “This web site can not be reached” page.
I am not sure why, but the new forum started to lag after some time. I will have to deal with the problem as at the moment I can’t even log off from the admin account and it is annoyingly slow. It seems this is somehow related with me as the forum is working OK when I connect from my cell phone.
Thank you very much for all your support.
