#2279 mrbs install from another MRBS System

[Hsu Yao Chang]

Hi ,
I have one MRBS system which install before, and because I don't have it's original setting manual . Would it be possible to copy all original MRBS folder to another apache server to build it? How can I do it? Thanks a lot.

Yes, what you need to do is:

1. Export the database from the old server and import it to the new one.
2. Copy the MRBS folder to the new server
3. Edit the config file so that it refers to the new database.

Good day:

I performed similar by moving an existing MRBS site to a new server. However, I upgraded the mySQL to 8.0 and php version to 7.4 but all I get is a blank page. I have tested the database connection by creating a test file to ensure I am able to connect to the database and that works successfully. Please assist. Thank you.

Which version of MRBS are you running?

[Anonymous]

Thank you for your response. The version running is MRBS 1.4.11.

[Campbell Morrison]

That version will not run on PHP 7. You will need to upgrade to the latest version of MRBS, 1.9.3.

Thank you much for your response. I was able to upgrade and things are working now. I noticed there are a number of additional fields on the the edit entry page, that we won't need. Is there a way to remove and/or hide the "Allow Registration" section / fields. Thank you.

Set in your config file:

$enable_registration = false;
