Hi is there a way of exporting all of our site content (pages ) to a new installation

I will install all the modules that are being used and copy the skin folder over to the new install I am hoping there is an easy way to copy the pages across without having to manually re create them.

Our current sites all have slightly different problems, some will not allow image uploads others I cannot edit the content anymore, so I can spend a week trying to fix these problems or just run a fresh install and move the content across.

any suggestions appreciated

On the Host, Site Management page, use the Export link. Check the Include Content box and select all pages (the default).

Move the two files that are created to Portals/_default in your new installation, and use them as the template when you create a new portal in the new installation.

Note that this tends to go better if both DNN installations are the same version.
