Export database

I want to ask you if it is possible to export a database that runs on a CMS to another CMS that will be installed on another machine. I tried this but when I tried to see the layouts from that database on the new CMS it displays strange characters. I think that I didn’t export the database correctly? Thank you!

Perhaps try this? http://xibo.org.uk/manual/en/release_notes_clonedb.html
your CMS library folder would also need to be in the new directory, otherwise media files will not be displayed properly - but I assume you already knew that.

That way I followed but it didn’t work, maybe I didn’t import correctly the database in the new CMS that is kept on another machine. I will try again. Thanks!

You need to make sure the two SQL servers are using the same character set. Most modern MySQL instances will be using UTF-8 by default but if your old or new server isn’t then you may need to do something to have the export come out in the correct format.

I’ll check this. Thank you!
