move zm to new system?

[brooknerk]

i'm upgrading my linux box from 32 to 64 bit software. i'm using a 1.23.x version of zoneminder with several cams and i'd like to move that installation over to the new system.

is there a way to do this without a full reinstall/reconfigure? would it be as easy as copying over the files in my web tree? what about mysql? i'm no sql expert!

apologies if this is an old topic. i did try searching the forum, but came up empty.

thanks

Use phpmyadmin to dump (export) the database and then reimport the database. Most of the apache document root for zoneminder is PHP / perl scripts so 32/64bit won't matter so you could technically copy those files as well.

thanks for the help.
