Copying data from one server to the other. 4.5.8.
April 22, 2015, 05:44:00 am
Is there a more up-to-date set of instructions for this process? I followed the instructions at

http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/Moving+an+Existing+Installation+to+a+New+Server+or+Location

and was met with "DB not found" as the error message. I don't want to go troubleshooting too hard if this information isn't accurate. Here are the steps I took once I had my 4.5.8 install on one server, and a fresh 4.5.8 install on another:

--ignore-table=civicrm_db_name.civicrm_domain \
--ignore-table=civicrm_db_name.civicrm_acl_cache \
--ignore-table=civicrm_db_name.civicrm_acl_contact_cache \
--ignore-table=civicrm_db_name.civicrm_cache  \
--ignore-table=civicrm_db_name.civicrm_group_contact_cache \

install database copy

DELETE <joomla-root>/media/civicrm/templates_c/*
       <joomla-root>/media/civicrm/ConfigAndLog/Config.IDS.ini

/administrator/index.php?option=com_civicrm&task=civicrm/admin/setting/updateConfigBackend&reset=1

/administrator/index.php?option=com_civicrm&task=civicrm/admin/setting/path?reset=1

/administrator/index.php?option=com_civicrm&task=civicrm/menu/rebuild&reset=1

This is pretty up to date, and what I use when moving stuff from one server to another with Drupal.

sounds like you need to review your two civicrm.settings.php file -
one in: administrator/components/com_civicrm/
one in: components/com_civicrm/

I suspect the DB values are not accurate there.

I thought that as well. But the fresh install of civi on the new server works and shows me a main page. Only when I over-write the DB is when I get the error, so there is no change to the settings file.
