Migrating to remote server from local


Recommended Posts

Hi,

Until now I have been making all the changes on my local computer via XAMPP. I would like to make the store live and am stuck at the SQL export/import ect. Would really hate to lose all the work. Also I believe the local database did not have a password.


Any and all help greatly appreciated.

Do a clean install on your remote server.

Via phpMyAdmin empty the database and delete ALL the files EXCEPT the /config/settings.inc.php

On local:

Create a backup of your local db via your local phpMyAdmin and restore that on your remote via phpMyAdmin.
Copy all your local files EXCEPT your /config/settings.php to your remote.

Check your FO and BO.
