I want to move xampp on Redhat 9 to cenots 5.3.

For moving xampp, I have this plan.

1. /opt/lampp/lampp backup
2. backup httpd.conf, my.ini, php.ini, config.inc.php.
3. directory backup: xampp/apache/conf
4. Install xampp 1.7.1 on centos 5.3
5. restore : sh xampp-backup-22-01-04.sh
6. restore no.2
7. restore no3's directory
8. start xampp

Is this correct?

Simply try to copy the whole folder /opt/lampp from one pc to another. That should do the job.

I guess it's easier to:
- stop all servers on pc1
- tar to complete lampp dir on pc1
- copy the archive to pc2
- untar the archive on pc2
- starting the servers on pc2

Nobbie/ Thank you for your kind reply. I'll try.

Wiedmann/ Thank you.

I'll try.
But I have another question, if move xampp by using tar, is there no problem for permission and ownership?
