Any Easy Way To Transfer From Hosting?

[Pablo]

Hi,

We have been using EspoCRM for some months and we are changing hosting provider (from GoDaddy to BlueHost).

Is there any easy (step by step) way to transfer our files and database to the new server?

Thanks a lot.

You just need to zip the EspoCRM directory and export database. Then on a new hosting provider unzip the archive, import database and setup a cron job. If your URL was changed, then go to EspoCRM Administration > Settings and change Site URL.

Hi Tarasm,

Thanks a LOT for your help! When you say "setup a cron job", is it for the EspoCRM workflows? Or is it needed for other functions?

Thanks again.

You have to configure it in cPanel. Please go to Administration > Scheduled Jobs and copy the line for the crontab. It looks like this one:

* * * * * /usr/bin/php -f /var/www/html/espocrm/cron.php > /dev/null 2>&1

Yeah the cron job is for the workflows and jobs like checking mailaccounts, etc...
