! Your data
|
-The following files and directories contain dynamically stored data - in other words, data that you or your users created. You'll want to copy that to your new installation:
|
-;/kernel/config_inc.php: Contains all the database access information.
|
-;/storage/: Contains all files that have been uploaded by your users.
|
-;/temp/: Contains some cached items, but also custom modules like your Nexus menus.
|
-;/theme/styles/your_theme/: If you have a custom theme you'll want to make sure you copy it over.
|
-;3rd party applications: phpBB, Gallery2, FCKeditor and so forth have their own configuration files, e.g., /phpbb/config.php
