chmod 777 semua

If you have shell access on both servers, here is a quick command-line based method.

• Set up a new empty database on the new server.
• Place your existing Moodle site into maintenance mode.
• Login to shell on the old existing server.
• Use rsync to copy moodledata and public_html or moodle folders (or whatever directory your Moodle install is in) to the new server - execute (replacing caps with your details; SOURCE = the directory you want to copy) for each directory:

rsync -av -e ssh SOURCE/ USERNAME@NEW_SERVER.COM:/PATH/TO/DESTINATION/

• Dump existing database and move and import into database on new server by executing:

mysqldump --allow-keywords --opt -uMySQL_USERNAME -pPASSWORD DATABASE | ssh USER@DOMAIN "mysql -uMySQL_USERNAME -pPASSWORD DATABASE"

• Replace any links in the database that contain the full site URL:

#sed -e 's/oldserver.com/newserver.com/g' oldmysqldump.sql > newmysqldump.sql

• On the new server, update config.php with relevant details where applicable (e.g. database name and user details, the wwwroot and the dataroot).
• Check ownership and permissions are correct on both moodle code and moodleData directories.
• Make sure everything is working.

Takes about 15 minutes for a small site. However, transferring several Gigabytes of data for a larger site can take hours depending on your network connection and hard drive read/write speed.
