I have a VB 3.8.4 fully licensed installed and working. Since I'm having some serious performance issues with my hosting provider and after several instances of no solution I decided to migrate all my VB to a new hosting.

As anyone here may know, migrating a VB is quite a mess. You really don't know when the DNS servers will be updated, and if you don't want to lose any data you have to be extra careful.

So I did what the migration documentation says

- Moved all my files to the new server
- Edited the config.php in the includes directory to point to the new database
- backed up all my database and restored it on the new server

The point is... I cannot get it to work on the new server prior to migrate my domain in the DNS
Servers. I cannot log with any user neither the superadministrator user.

As the title of my post says, I want to do a smooth and flawless migration from one server to the other. I want to configure the new installation as "Board Closed" so that I can move the lastest SQL tables backup to it before opening it to the users.

Can anybody tell me what am I doing wrong?
What am I supposed to do to do a flawless migration?
Do I have to migrate my DNS servers and pray that the whole VB system in the new server works fine as an act of faith?

I'm rather a "see to beleive" man, so it sounds very strange for me to trust in a blindsystem migration.

Hope anyone can help me.
