Migration of Joomla + SMF site

J

James Camo

Guest
Hello everybody,

I'm completely new to server administration but I registered a "1and1 dedicated server + Plesk 9 + Centos 5"...

As my website is Joomla and SMF(simple machine forum) powered, I would like to know the best way to do the migration from an existing backup.

Should I install Joomla from the Web Application panel of Plesk?
How will I do updates that need to overwrite files by ftp?
People installing joomla have rights trouble and have to use things like suPHP (which seems dangerous). Have you turn around?

Thanks a lot for you help.
