Move FogBugz to another server

I'm building an entire new server to move my FogBugz to. There are jumps in database version, OS version, everything. Should I be concerned? What is the set of steps here.

Answer 1

This can almost always be solved by just moving the database and pointing a new FogBugz install at the moved database. There's only a few cases in which you might need special guidance:

• You're moving from FogBugz 4 or earlier to the current version.
• You're changing operating systems (Linux > Windows) rather than OS versions.
• You're changing databases (MySQL > SQL Server).

In all other cases, your basic upgrade plan will be this:

1. Get the OS up and running.
2. Get the database software up and running.
3. Move the old FogBugz database onto the machine. (mysqldump and detach/attach for MySQL and SQL Server, respectively.)
4. Run the FogBugz installer and select "Create new installation."
5. During the install, you will be given the opportunity to point the FogBugz install at your current database.
6. When FogBugz comes up in the web browser, you'll be prompted to let FogBugz upgrade its own database.

After that, you're ready to go!
