The following instructions are for those who are interested in moving an existing DLGuard installation onto a new website or server.
1) Using your FTP software, download your entire DLG folder from your old website onto your computer
2) Upload the DLG folder you just downloaded onto your new server
3) Change the file permissions on your new server as so:
- Set all the files INSIDE the "admin/data/" folder to CHMOD 0666
(NOT the "data" folder itself, but the files INSIDE the "data" folder)
4) To keep your existing products, customers, and sales data, you will need to copy your MySQL database from your old host to your new host.
The most common way to do this is to Export your DLGuard database using phpMyAdmin from your old site, and Import it using phpMyAdmin on your new site.
Your new hosting provider will be able to help you do this if you're not sure how this is done.
5) Login to DLG on your new server as normal. There will be a MySQL database error, and if you're using a recent version of DLGuard you will be transfered to the Config screen automatically. If you're using an older version of DLGuard, you'll need to look in the top address bar of your browser window, and change the "index.php" at the end of the current URL to "config.php" and press Enter.
6) On the Config page, update your MySQL details to point to the database on the new server.
7) After saving, you'll be returned to the Home page of DLGuard. If everything on your new server seems fine, delete the DLG folder from your old server.
All done!
