    hello,

    I was hoping someone out there might know of a way to move the bugtracker from a workstation to a server.  I have tried to export the data using phpAdmin however when I import it into the new instance of bug_tracker I get a blank index.php page (after logging in).  I have tried importing the structure and data as well as just the data.  Is there something within the scripts that disallows this (or am I missing a step completely!!!)  Please help - it would be a lot of data to have to manually recopy.

    Thanks!!!

      Hi,
      You can do this by editing the config.php to point to new instance. Or else try this.. Create the new instance and import the data to it with what ever the method your data base server provieds(U haven't mention the data base type). Then bak up the config.php ( to use in case) and make a blank config.php. ( If you have used the config.php to set any envirenment variable they should be included). Now run the install.php and you can point to th enew instance.

      hi,

      OK you've lost me!!!  I'm working with a MYSQL database.  I tried editing the config.php file but i obviously wasn't doing it right because i continue to get the blank index.php after log in.  Could you perhaps give me an example of the code and exactly where it is I am suppose to edit.  If I have a database with tables already populated, will this not conflict with the script in the install.php???

      The place in config.php you need to edit is lines 28 to 32, which specifies the database connection information.  You shouldn't need to run install.php again if the database has all the tables.
