Transfer your website to a new Mac

Easier with MAMP PRO

MAMP PRO Snapshots let you save and restore a complete snapshot of your site – files and database in one go. Transferring to a new Mac becomes a matter of taking a snapshot on the old machine and restoring it on the new one.

Steps

1. Install MAMP on the new Mac.
2. Copy the contents of your document root folder from the old Mac to the document root folder on the new Mac. The default location is /Applications/MAMP/htdocs.
3. On the old Mac, open phpMyAdmin and export your database as a SQL dump file.
4. Copy the dump file to the new Mac.
5. On the new Mac, open phpMyAdmin and import the dump file to restore your database.
