I have a SharePoint website I need to move to another completely different server.
Can I do this by simply copying files from IIS to the other server’s IIS folder?
I assume I need to copy the database as well as change the config file’s database connection.
I assume I don’t need to install anything on the server other than ftp files across i.e. I don’t need to install files via an installer or exe.
The short answer is no.
SharePoint includes Service applications (ex. OWSTimer) that have to be registered and installed.
Also there are COM components that must be registered properly.
