    Hello,
    Ok i have a site at hostgator (baby croc package) that I need help moving to my newly bought VPS hostgator account. I don't have a cpanel at that account. I have no knowledge in this area, but someone said i dont need cpanel if i know how to set the site up. The VPS has a Parallels Power Panel.
    It is a Joomla 1.5 site

    As i said im not sure if it's possible to move a Joomla site into a Parallels Power Panel?

    I need this fast, so if you can do this for me, please send me a PM and your price.

    Thanks

    All you would need to really do is take your MySQL database for your Joomla, and put it into your new database on your VPS.

    If you wanted to do it yourself, you could ask for help on the Joomla boards.

    You should get a free control panel like Virtualmin. You will get phpMyAdmin with it which you can use to import the database.

    Moving a Joomla! site is fairly simple. Download all the files for the site locally, and archive them. (.zip, .tar.gz, .rar, .7z, etc.) Then export the database on your MySQL server via your phpMyAdmin.

    Now you're ready to upload the files.

    Upload the archive to the new server, and extract them (or extract them before upload if the panel doesn't have an extraction wizard). Once all the files are uploaded, you'll need to import the database you downloaded into the new MySQL server. Finally, you'll need to edit the Joomla! config.php file with the new database information, and you should be good to go.

    If you have any trouble doing this, please let me know. I'll be glad to assist further!
