XF 1.5 Move old XF to a subdomin

[KSA]

I have upgraded my site to the XF2.0 and I would like to move the old XF along with its data to a subdomains using my recent full backup of the old XF.

Any idea how to do that?

I have created a subdomin already but having a hard time executing the next step. Do I have to install a fresh XF1 to the subdomin database and then upload the backup file to it? or just upload the backup file directly to the database?

Since you're talking about a backup, it's generally pretty similar to doing a test install duplicate: https://xenforo.com/community/resources/how-to-duplicate-a-live-site-to-use-as-a-test-site.2792/

Thanks a a lot that helps however i'm not able to upload the backup file through Cpanel. Its not giving me the option to restore the files to the subdomin MySQL database I created for the test install.

Your host would likely be best positioned to help there (as they could import the database independent of any cPanel limits).

Thankx a bunch @Mike. I have managed to sort that out however I get error when attempting to login or browse the forum I login through admin.php then back to the /forums. So basically clicking on any link will give url not found and trigger a 404 error.

It sounds like your .htaccess file is missing. You may need to check if that was uploaded. If not, you can rename htaccess.txt to .htaccess and that should hopefully resolve the issue.
