Hi, I have an active DNN instance running on a web server (Windows Server 2008) and I would like to  port over to another server (same OS).  Is there an easy way to go about this effort?  Can somebody outline the steps here?  I'm very new to DNN.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

If you have full access to the server, here what we do for our own needs:

Old server:
Go to SQL Server studio, and backup your database
Zip all the folder of your website

Go to the new server:
Create the website. On this root directory, add Network Service Full access on the tab Directory
Copy the content of your zipped website on the new website
Go to the SQL Server Studio, add the database from the backup

If you don't change any password and use the same config, this should be OK.
