How to Transfer dotProject Website?

Transferring your dotProject website from another server can actually be a very simple task. Here are the steps that you will need to take:

Copy your website files to your new hosting account. To make the sites publicly accessible, you must upload the files in the /public_html/ directory or in a subfolder of the same directory. The files can be easily transferred via an FTP client like FileZilla. You may review our video FTP tutorials here:

Finally edit your dotProject configuration file. The file is located in:

/path-to-dotProject/includes/config.php

Edit the following lines:

$dPconfig[‘dbname’] = ‘db_name’;

$dPconfig[‘dbuser’] = ‘db_user’;

$dPconfig[‘dbpass’] = ‘db_pass’;

Change db_name, db_user and db_pass with the database name, database user and database password that you have created earlier.

That’s it! You have successfully completed the transfer of your dotProject website.
