If I manually reupload files to new server must i reinstall?

[bdepadey4815]

I am changing to a different server on a different host and I have had to manually download all my server files and the sql database. If I manually upload all of these to the new server, will I have to reinstall the script database using myhostname.com/install or will this break the script?

What you need to do is the following

Upload your files
Create a new database
Put the database details (user/pass/db name) into _config.inc.php
Upload your database back up using phpmyadmin or whatever.
All going well it should work straight away

Ok great, and my old server was using cPanel, and the new server is using directadmin, will this be a problem such as for the encoding of the files?
