A: To move your Vivvo website to another web server you will have to install a fresh copy of the software simply by following the standard installation instructions (http://www.vivvo.net/doc/v4/installation_manual/), and then to engage in two steps:

#1) moving templates, uploaded files and other assets;

#2) importing database with articles, users, comments, categories and other data.

First, export the data base from old website. Go to Vivvo Administration -> Maintenance -> Create backup. Next, using FTP program, copy that backup to the new server in VIVVO_ROOT/backup folder. Finally, just import the old data into the new data base (Vivvo Administration -> Maintenance -> Restore database).

In order to restore all uploaded files and images copy entire /files folder (including subdirectories) from the old server to new one. Hence, if you made any changes to templates and CSS, make sure to upload all modified .tpl and .css files to your new Vivvo installation. Better yet, upload entire folder to avoid possible problems.

In case you’re moving Vivvo CMS from Windows web server (i.e. your localhost), you must be aware that database and table names are not case sensitive in Windows and are case sensitive in *nix (Apache) platforms. You will have to change table names (using phpMyAdimin). For example, Windows will treat tblarticles same as tblArticles but this would not work on other platforms.
