Mini howto Linux/Unix

On your old server
- Backup files
Access your old server with SSH(putty).
Cd ezpublishdir
tar -cpzf yourdomain.tar.gz *

- Backup database
mysqldump --opt -u your_user -p yourezpublsihdatabase > yourdomain.bak.dump

ON your new server
-Files
mkdir Exponential
chmod 755 Exponential
tar zxvf yourdomain.tar.gz

-Database
mysql -u yournew_user -p yournewezpublsihdatabase < yourdomain.bak.dump

-Fix missing permissions....
Compare your new ez dir with your old, using ls -l within Exponential dir.

Use this command to grant new permissions
chmod -R(for folders+files and subfolders) 777/666/xxx dir/file
.....
chmod -R 777 var/
.....

-.-.-.-
If noting works try this (not very secure)
chmod -R 777 design/ var/ settings/
