How to transfer wordpress to new server

having a little trouble with this process,do i do a fresh install of wordpress,downloading the latest zip from wordpress.org-then do a backup on old server and add this to wp-content?

thanks in advance

 

1. Create new database.
2. Upload DataBase buck up.
3. In file wp-config.php change database name, user and password.
4. Upload old site, all file to site root directory.

Maybe you need change path to images.

 

Here's a detailed guide that you can follow http://blog.triphp.com/how-to/how-to-move-wordpress-to-a-new-server-or-host.html .

 

You can also use the instructions from Wordpress.org -

Export the XML file from your old Wordpress ( tools>export) and take a backup of your wp-content folder.

Do a fresh install, replace the wp-content folder and import the xml.

 

If you use this sections & you have a large wordpress database, some hosting will not work because the memory access in some hosting provider are limited
