Data Migration

[souldeux]

I'm not the most technologically advanced guy on the planet, and I'm a little stumped as to the best way to go about doing what I need to do here.

The problem:
I currently have SugarCRM (open source) installed with a stack install on my desktop PC. I do not have my database hosted online in any fashion. I have just purchased a MacBook Pro and am in the process of moving everything over to my new machine.

What I want:
I want to install SugarCRM (open source) on my new MacBook Pro. I also want to take all of the data currently loaded into Sugar on my PC and move it onto the Mac. Manually re-entering my client database would shut my business down for a couple of days -- is there a way to just repopulate a new install with the data I have on my PC?

Concerns
When I installed SugarCRM on my PC, I used the stack installer. To operate the CRM, I run the included Apache server then point my browser at 127.0.0.1. Is this the same way it works on the Mac? I've heard that I might need to install MAMP, but I wanted to double-check.

Thanks, guys. I know I'm probably asking some pretty naive, basic questions, but I really appreciate your time and help.

Hi souldeux

You ca use the mysqldum tool to export the current database informations and import into the further sugarcrm you are going to install into your Mac.
You can use MAMP without big deal.

Kind regards

Much obliged! Things went smoothly and I'm up and running. Thanks!

I have two different sugar crms set up on web hosting accounts. I need to move the current information in one of them to the other.

I didn't set up sugar crm on our server, but I do have administrative access.

Thanks for your help.

Do you have access to the mysql?
Just from my practice:
It is possible from SugarCRM to install phpmyadmin like a module.
And from phpmyadmin you can make any action that allow your user privileges.

We would love to offer our services for you.
Feel free to contact us.

Cheers,
