[Solved] How to move to a new database?
I would like to move my forum to a new database. while staying on the same host and domain-name.
My first step was to export the forum using Vanilla porter.
I tried editing the config.php:
I changed $Configuration['Garden']['Installed'] into FALSE,
changed the name of the database, the user and the password,
and also deleted all the .ini-files in the cache directory.
It seemed to work:
I got the installation page at the URL of the forum.
However, after having filled-in a user and a password for the forum (everything else was already filled in), I get a BONK-page, without any information.
The new database has the tables for a Vanilla forum: everything looks fine.
What did I miss?

please search he forums for what to do when you get bonk.
grep is your friend.
I just found out:
Before installation, you should de-activate all plugins.
Then do a fresh install.
Then re-activate the plugins.
And then you can import the data of the old database.
