We need to move an eFiction website to a new  ISP that does not have eFiction currently installed. The wrinkle: the domain name will also be changing (ex: old-domain.com  to totally-different-domain.com).  We may have to set up the new efiction archive as a subdomain (still checking on whether we need to buy a new separate domain name).    Is this doable? 

My understanding so far

1. Install eFiction on the new ISP  (the old site is using 3.5.3 so we thought we'd start by installing that first on the new ISP)
2. Download the sql backup
3. Upload it...but how to handle the rest ?

Thank you.

I just ran into several problems. One: using the restore function tries to wipe out every other database (we have wordpress running on the site). Then, using myphpadmin import I get

SQL query:
--
-- Table structure for table `2songs`
--
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS  `2songs` ;

MySQL said: Documentation

#1046 - No database selected 

Is there a tutorial with step by step method of migrating?  or even something more basic on how to install eFiction. I went to the Wiki but the pages are now blank. I think I'll need to start over from scratch.
