hello everybody,

yet another one with a migration problem... Rolling Eyes

I am changing my ISP and have to move my FUDforum (2.7.6) to a new server. I tried for several hours now to get my old forum running on the new server, without sucess... I got some nice MySQL errors and blank pages.
So I would appreciate little bit of help Smile

I have to admit that I'm not particularly familiar with the FUDforum yet and that I did not read all the existing posts on that topic...so my first question would be:

Is there a step by step explication "how to move to a new server" somewhere in the documentation or could anybody provide my this information?

I already found out that it is not possible to import the 2.7.6 data in a 2.7.7 Forum, because the table structure has slightly changed (some new fields).
Furthermore I'd like to change the folder organisation for my data folder, so I would need to replace the old paths by the new one anyway. And I have created my own theme and set it as default.

Stange things I encounter:
When trying to unlock my forumfiles I end up with a blank screen in Firefox 2.x and Safari 3.x and the "FUDdata/include/theme" folder is not unlocked (0700) is this normal?
When I try to make a forum datadump in the admin console I also end up with a blank screen and a .gz file with a size varying from 27 MB upto 3.3 Gb for a forum with about 150 posts only!

I'm on MacOS 10.4.x;
The old server is on FreeBSD 5.5; MySQL 3.23.58; Apache/1.3.31 (Unix) and very very slow (the reason I move)
The new Server is on Linux tux41 2.6.11.4; MySQL 4.0.27; Apache ?

Thanks in advance for your help!
