Database Migration Help

Hi All


We need to migrate our DB from a Windows 2008 Server to Windows 2012 - all of our "Experts" have since left and I am looking for guidance on how I can go about re configuring the application to point to the new DB location.  I have never used PHP (but am able to follow commands and what to type etc...) before but so please bear that in mind with any responses.


Thank you for your time

Check the config.php file (and, for more comment, the config-dist.php file) in the root of your Moodle installation. Near the top there are settings that point to the database and provide the username and password. If you migrate your database that *should* be all you need to change.

PS. Please change your profile to be your real name - we like to know who we are talking to. Everybody around here is 'moodle admin' wink
