Change host - move server

[Excell]

I'm in the process of moving the site to a new host. Here're my steps,

1) download all files from the original server and export database
2) edit application.php (db connection, url path)
3) upload the files to the new server, import database, CHOMD files and folders

Is this done? Should I run 'install.php'? Please let know if there's any thing I'm missing. Thank you.

-------
Edit: I've successfully moved the sites. At the first time I failed and got a 500 sever error. I run 'install.php' to reinstall, and then uploaded the original application.php to replace the reinstalled application.php. I'm not sure if it's this step that solved the problem. But fortunately the site is live now.

Why export the database? Why not just get a mysql dump and import it into the new host? That would be much easier.

Other than that, everything is correct.

If you get a 500 error it's because your new host either doesn't like .htaccess or it doesn't allow the Options line in .htaccess

edit and/or delete .htaccess at the following locations
/.htaccess
/admin_tpl/.htaccess
/themes/.htaccess

If everything is working then you do not need to edit/delete .htaccess
