Hi,

Im upgrading, and I have just set up a new J2.5 installation/Virtuemart 2.0.6 with the gavick boutique quickstart. Then i managed to import both the joomla user tables and virtemart user and order tables from my old site to my new installation. Now there is just one thing left, to move the migrated VM 2.6 installation from the Jupgrade location (of my old site), and over to the new fresh gavick installation.... (move products and categories, settings etc.)

How can I do this? Is it just to copy the files and folder from the ftp and just paste them in the same place in the new installation?

You should copy all component directories and change the VM config becuase there are stored paths to domain etc., but I think for more informations you should ask on VM support forum.

Yes, I have tried that forum, but the thread is not answered. And, i have been searching the forum up and down for threads about moving virtuemart 2, with no concrete results.

Anybody else have any experience with this? Moving a VM2 installation from one J2.5 site to another..

I think that more help you will find on VM support forum not at Gavick one's, because here we support our products no 3rd party extensions.

well yes, I understand that, but in my opinion this is highly relevant to your product. I have been using Gavick for 1,5 years, and now when times are changing, its time for a system update. As the new Joomla system is totally different from the old one, I need to set up a 100% new J2.5 site, with the new Gavick framwork, and transfer the content from the old site to the new one.

In my opinion you will get more help on VM support forum because VirtueMart is a 3rd party extension.
