Hi,

I currently have Hesk installed as an add-on domain. I would like to transfer it to a new hosting account, and also make it a primary domain instead of an add-on.

My experience is only with transferring Wordpress sites, so my question is about what to do after I create the new database for this particular site.

After some searching, I believe I have located the file where the database info would be updated:

hesk_settings.inc.php -> /* Database settings */

That part looks straightforward (but please correct me if I'm wrong).

Then I noticed this section: /* Help desk settings */

The third line in the section currently reads:

$hesk_settings['server_path']='/home/whpress/public_html/undertheradarsupport/helpdesk';

So, my main question is this:

Since this will now be a primary domain instead of an add-on domain, should I simply omit the "whpress" (the domain to which the help desk site is now an add-on) in the string so that it reads like this?:

$hesk_settings['server_path']='/home/public_html/undertheradarsupport/helpdesk';


Since this is a first for me, I just thought I should do a reality check before proceeding.

Thanks in advance for any advice!
