I have a client who wants me to host their forums, breaking them off of their current site hosted with someone else, and putting them on our server using a different domain name. I had hoped I could transfer the entire site using Cpanel's copying function, and then convert the forums, but you have to use the same domain name when you do that.
I know you can move phpBB2 with phpMyAdmin and database backups, installing the software on the new site and restoring the backups. It looks like I'll have to do it that way. Does anyone have an easier way or tips on making the move?
BTW - we will probably convert the forums to SMF so they can actually manage them without getting spammed all the time (they have an issue with spammers getting through the phpBB2 captcha).
