Where Does Question2Answer Store Config and Uploads?
Question2Answer keeps credentials in qa-config.php with blobs and avatars under qa-content.
Last updated
Question2Answer is self-hosted Q&A software, so everything lives on your own server. Database credentials sit in a config file, blobs and avatars collect under the content directory, and questions live in MySQL.
That trio is the whole migration unit. Copy the files, import the dump, and point the config at the new database. Confirm exact paths in your install, since custom deployments move them.
Where Question2Answer stores this, by platform
Install dir (qa-config.php + qa-content/uploads)
Database credentials plus the content directory for uploads. Back up config plus content plus a database dump together.
Frequently asked questions
How do I migrate my Q&A site to a new server?
Back up qa-config.php, the qa-content directory, and a database dump together. Uploads without the database lose their owners, and the database without files serves broken images.
