Greetings . . .
Is there a document describing the steps necessary to move a Live Forum installation from one hosting environment to another?
Any insights would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
regards, Keith

Hello, Thanks for the above information. I am the one trying to move the forum with the person in the initial post to a new host and having challenges trying to test it prior to moving the DNS info. I think I am close, but getting the errors shown below. Any ideas?
I have had to use a .hosts file entry on my local computer to point to the url and I also added the server IP address and folders as needed to the ubbthreads.php file to the settings in the config.inc.php file.
Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: Unsupported operand types: string + int in /home/inliner1/public_html/inliners/ubbthreads/libs/ubbthreads.inc.php:226 Stack trace: #0 /home/inliner1/public_html/inliners/ubbthreads/libs/ubbthreads.inc.php(190): ubbt_validate() #1 /home/inliner1/public_html/inliners/ubbthreads/libs/ubbthreads.inc.php(63): get_input() #2 /home/inliner1/public_html/inliners/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php(50): require_once('/home/inliner1/...') #3 {main} thrown in /home/inliner1/public_html/inliners/ubbthreads/libs/ubbthreads.inc.php on line 226

I figured out that the default PhP version may have been too new, so downgraded to 7.4 and now the message is different.
The SQL version may be the issue... It's at Database Version 8.0.39-cll-lve
"Problem occurred in connection"

Thanks for the version confirmation on MySQL, I had not found that info yet. So not a version issue, will start checking credentials and server info.

I got things close to running by using the config.inc.php file and the absolute path and HTTPS site references and allowed me to get past the login issue. Although there were still errors due to the server side references the php scripts use.
I bit the bullet and pointed the DNS records to the new hosting company, updated the config.inc.php file and hit the site and all worked as expected. I just had to find some additional references that were missing to fill in all the links from the different site areas and all is working.
I had to downgrade the PhP version to 7.4 and add the proper SQL requirements and SQL worked as it was on the hosting company Version 8.0.39-cll-lve.
Thanks for the suggestions.

They'll need to be on UBB.threads v8+ for PHP8 capabilities.
