Migrating Joomla 1.0.x to a new server

I didn’t want to do a new install; just wanted to keep everything as-is so I could set up a dev environment. This was going from Linux to Windows, vice versa is probably the same:

1. Copy the following directories:
   1. administrator
   2. components
   3. editor
   4. images
   5. includes
   6. language
   7. mambots
   8. templates
   9. files in /
2. Update configuration.php with the following:

   ...
   $mosConfig_absolute_path = 'C:/.../path-to-webroot'; 
   $mosConfig_debug= '1'; // useful if you want it
   $mosConfig_error_reporting = '1'; // useful if you want it
   $mosConfig_password = 'newpassword';  // db password, looks like this may be hashed though
   $mosConfig_user = 'new-db-username';
   ...

Hope this helps. Good luck!
