I need to transfer it onto a new server

 

Make a clean installation of the same version of CS-Cart on a new server.

Copy the config.local.php file of this new CS-Cart to your local computer (or rename it to avoid its overwriting during the next step).

Make a backup of the store database on the web site from which you wish to copy CS-Cart:

Log in to the administration panel, open the Administration tab and click on the Database link.

Enter a backup file name in the Backup file name field (i.e. my_database.sql) and click on the Backup button. The created file will be placed into the var/database/backup directory of your CS-Cart installation.

Copy this file from this directory to your local computer.

Copy all CS-Cart files to the new server. Make sure that the modified and newly created files have been successfully copied and have overwritten the corresponding original files.

Copy the config.local.php file of the clean installation back to the server.

Log in to the panel of CS-Cart installed on the new server and restore the dump file (you have created during step 3):

Upload this file on the Database page under the Restore tab and click on the Restore button.

 

As a result you will have the same copy of CS-Cart on the new server.

 

 

=========

 

this doesent say anything about the mysql database.. and im guessing i just have to upload the template files to the new install and it will all be the same.

RTFM... you just posted some text and then said that text dosnt tell you what todo when most of it is about the database
