I'm new to DNN and started out setting up my site on localhost. Now I'm ready to move everything to a host, and I've found that that's not as easy as I had hoped. Some will say my first mistake was going with GoDaddy, (that's another thread) but they don't allow me to restore from a backup not created on their system, so I have to export tables to delimited files and import them into the new database. So my question is (unless there's an easier way) what tables do I need to import to get Site, Page and Module settings? I have already installed the extensions that I need. I just want to copy up all the configuration settings.

Thanks!

Barry,

I STRONGLY recommend against the scripting option to move the site, I've been involved in rescuing many sites that have tried this, and had little glitches that cause it to not work as expected.  This is just not a task that is easily done, unless you have some of the more expensive database tools such as the SQL Toolbelt suite from Red Gate.
