Hi, I'm facing this problem:
I want to move my drupal site to different vhost, but only necessary files (content, modules, configuration). Drupal on my old vhost is 6.16, the new one is 6.17 (just installed, no configuration done) so I do not want to overwrite new drupal installation with my old one.
In <drupal_root> on my old vhost there are these sub-directories and files:
/files /includes /misc /modules /profiles /scripts /sites /themes
.htaccess cron.php index.php install.php robots.txt update.php xmlrpc.php
What should I move to the new vhost? <drupal_root>/sites and <drupal_root>/profiles/translations ,that is clear. Anything more?
I suppose permissions should not be big problem. These are actually two virtual hosts on the same apache server, so pure "mv" should do the job just fine. Is there anything more I should be aware of?

I don't think so. I don't know if profiles is even necessary to move. I don't *think* so.

I don't think so. It should be easy.

Hi, Remember to copy your theme directory if it is out of sites/all/themes and if it is one created from scratch.
/profiles is not necessary and it is used in the installation phase only.

Same machine, so you don't need to change mysql db server settings, I suppose.

I assume we are talking about 6.x. You appear to be using two completely different installations. However, maybe you have a look at instructions for multisite. Maybe it helps. You just need the database (or even only the tables from the database, if that makes a difference in your case) and the files. The files are mostly the ones in sites/default (at least I guess this where you saved them. Additionally, you might copy or install modules and themes.

As you're essentially upgrading from 6.16 to 6.17 I would follow the update instructions on which files to save and move those over to the new vhost then run update.php once everything is moved over and you should be good.
