Hi,

I am moving copermine to another server and I am COMPLETE php dumb. Could anybody PLEASE tell me what to do step-by-step. Also should i have coppermine in the same database (mysql) as forum or in another database?

Thanks in advance.

Has been asked before, so I'm only posting a short version - if you need details, search the board.
1) Make a backup of all your files (using your FTP app) on your hard drive
2) make a dump of your database using a tool like phpMyAdmin
3) Move the files to the new server
4) edit include/config.inc.php to enter the mySQL data of the new server
5) Restore the mySQL dump you created in step 2 on your new server
6) Go to coppermine's config and change the "target address for ecards" to reflect the url of your new page

Read the docs to find out about the database your coppermine and bbs have to reside in.
