    Default Server Transfer of Live Site

    I have a live site that I need to move to another server. In this case, do I just move the files and database to the new server and change the database connection string? Does it work that way for AspDotNetStorefront? Version is ML 8. I'm not upgrading any version.

    If web.config file is encrypted in the old server, do I need to decrypt it before I move it to the new server?

    Looking forward to your comments and response.

    Default Encrypted Web.Config

    @matrix,

    If your web.config is currently encrypted, you will most likely have to decrypt it to update your DB connection string.

    Make sure to consider any DNS updates that will need to be made with the move.
