I have a (probably) simple question.
I have coppermine 1.4.8 bridged with phpbb 2.0.21 and I'm planing to move to a new hosting service.
The questions are:
First, how do I make a backup of my coppermine-phpbb bridge and how do I restore it on the new server?
Do I need to install coppermine and phpbb separatly, bridge them and then apply a backup to my database, or just install coppermine and phpbb then upload a database backup without bridging?

What kind of parametars do I need to change in coppemine settings after I move to a new host?

Thanks, any help is appreciated.

Not related to upgrading, moving accordingly. Has been asked many times over, please search before posting in the future. Backup all files in your coppermine folder. Backup all coppermine database tables. Restore both files and database tables on new server. Edit include/config.inc.php on new server. In coppermine's config, change the URL setting. That's all for the coppermine side. I have no idea how to move phpbb, but probably the same method applies. If you're not sure, temporarily disable bridging before you move and re-enable it after successfully moving both apps.
