I am moving my site to a new host, and I have copied all the forum files over, and have also copied all of the MySQL tables to the new host and changed the connection string in config.asp. Is there anything else I need to do to make sure I have a smooth transition? Any problems I should expect?
Test it on the new server to make sure there are no problems before you move. Keep a backup (sql dump) of the database just in case. Did you use setup.asp to create the tables on the new database?
I don't use MySql myself that often. The database may have been created correctly. All I'm saying is keep a backup and check thats its running ok before you move.
Should be no problem then, even though I don't know Maestro.
I, still a complete novice, was able to copy the mysql database from one host to a new one without any help using Maestro. It took a little experimenting, but Maestro is fairly intuitive. Thank you to whoever recommended Maestro.
