XF 1.5 Move xenforo to another hoster

[CabCon]

Hello xf-community,
I will switch my xf hoster (one.com) soon. So I would like to know how to move a installed xenforo to a new hoster. I think it works like this, but I'm not sure, please correct me when I'm wrong

1. Backup database and ftp
2. Upload ftp and database to the new hoster
3. change config information in the config file
4. change settings to new url
5. Finish.

Do I need to do something else? Or can I just import the old database to the new installed version?


Cheers,
CabCon.

Point 6 of the FAQ covers it but what you've posted is more or less it: https://xenforo.com/community/threads/frequently-asked-questions.5183/#post-180455

Backup database

Be sure to use mysqldump to make a proper backup.

Upload ftp and database to the new hoster

The backup will be a .sql file, you will need to use the mysql command at the server terminal (ssh) to restore the database.
