I'm planning to make my server online for public. I am currently running on Windows XP and already setup the server. Can anybody give me a tutorial on how to transfer it to a VPS running on a CentOS? Thanks! :)

you have to recompile it on linux, when you have a centos VPS upload your server files there then you have to recompile it there

Hi rkhin28,

You can easily use any program that has SFTP such as WinSCP or FileZilla and the connect to your server to transfer the files over. After transferring the files, simply compile the server within CentOS and configure the conf files to have the correct information; after that you should be able to run the server within CentOS with no issues.

I'm planning to get a VPS from you. Do you mean even I have already configured the files, I need configure them again when transferring to CentOS?

No, you will not need to edit all the trunk/conf/ files again.

Just upload, and compile (follow these steps on the wiki: Compiling#Unix).

If you have a GUI (like Gnome) installed on CentOS, then yes there are MySQL GUI programs you can install. ex: MySQL Workbench

You can also have MySQL Workbench installed on your Windows computer and have it connect to your MySQL server on CentOS.
