I would highly recommend doing the install from scratch, as there are a ton of issues I can foresee from trying to transfer an install. |

Since PufferPanel seems to have stopped working, I'm going to try to reinstall it. However, I don't really want to go through the hassle of reconfiguring eight servers, then renaming folders and fixing permissions.
Since I have recently gotten into MySQL settings and have seen how Scales and PufferPanel keep their records, I'm wondering if it is possible to transfer this database somehow, so that I can just have my servers pre-configured and ready to run. Is this possible? Can I transfer my server configuration to a new installation?
If my PufferPanel issues don't go away, I will see what happens with a fresh install. I just would like to see where this gets me (and maybe even use it in the future, when I have to reinstall Ubuntu).
