Transfer site to another hosting Company

[oujipickle]

Hi All

New here and I think i will be here quite often.

I have a new client with a virtuemart store.

The full site needs to be transferred to my hosting account (domain will stay the same )
What info do I need off current hosting provider and is there a step by step guide on transferring it over?

Then I will be developing a new site for the same client/shop, on this platform which I am new to, but a regular with Joomla 1.7 & 2.5

Sorry cant get any version numbers yet which are currently being used, just need an idea of how to go about this.

Thanks a lot

Ouji

From the errror message it's pretty obvious that you will find the solution on the website of your paps image software. Also paps is for Virtuemart 1, so you posted in the wrong forum section.
