Transferring any version

Prepare and save the old release
- Backup your installation directory files and SQL-based database
  - At the command-line level, make a .zip or similar archive of the whole installation directory tree of files
  - Use phpMyAdmin or similar to export all tables; or use the LimeSurvey backup entire database button that is located in the Configuration dialog, under the Advanced tab
- Copy your config.php file separately to ease the editing process
Move the saved release to the new machine
- Unpack your installation files
  - Create your new installation directory (same name is convenient)
  - Unpack/unzip the installation files into the same folder
- Setup your SQL database
  - Create the new database using phpMyAdmin or a command-line interface
  - Load the saved SQL-based database to recreate the tables and content
Edit config.php to reflect changes from the old release and check your installation
- Be careful to check the database name, username, and password, as well as the installation server name, URL path, and physical directory path to the installation
- Visit the survey admin page or the page of an active survey and check if everything works
You are good to go now :)
