To move your Mambo site from either one folder to another or one server to another, here are a few basics.

* Copy over your files, either via ftp or SSH/command line
* Backup and then restore your database - perhaps using phpmyadmin or SSH/command line (this step only needed if moving site from one server to another.
* Edit your configuration.php file to reflect the new values. Specifically the following (remembering to use YOUR settings, not the example ones given here):
$mosConfig_user = 'mambo_mambo';
$mosConfig_password = 'password';
$mosConfig_db = 'mambo_mambo';
$mosConfig_absolute_path = '/home/mambo/public_html';
$mosConfig_live_site = 'http://www.mamboserver.com';
$mosConfig_cachepath = '/your absolute path/cache';

Note: You may also need to ensure you have configured your .htaccess file in the new location.
