Moving the site or database to a new server

There are 2 important places that refer to the physical location of the Manifesto site and its database. Both must be changed to fully move a Manifesto site or its database.

1. The dt_dbinfo.php file. This contains the name of the database host, and so must be modified if the database or the site and database are moved. An entry using "localhost" always refers to a database running on the same machine as the site, and so may be preserved if you are still running the site and database server on the same machine.
2. The prefs table. The name of the database host is hard-coded in this table during installation. Since there is no user interface for modifying this information, it must be updated in MySQL from the command line or other SQL access method like phpMyAdmin. If you are moving the site as well, be sure to check the path field entry to ensure that it corresponds to the new location.
