How to make copys of a shop with new name and new url


Recommended Posts

Hi all, i am working on a plan for copying a shop and using it for a new shop that are identical in content and only the language differs. Say we have a shop.com and want a shop.dk that is identical for use for Danish customers, but we don't want to maintain content of both sites but just copy the new or changed content of eg. shop.com to shop.dk.

I have made at test where i have made a new database with new name, made a mysqldump from the "master" and inserted it to the new database with mysql.
Then i have changed the settings.inc.php with the new databsename, set the relevant rights on the the new database so it is the same as the "master".
Then i have copied the file content on the IIS under www (it is a MS 2008R2 webserver) from the "master" to a new folder (with the new name), made a new site in the IIS, and changed the two refs. in the web.config file in the new www folder from eg. shop.com to the new name shop.dk. And now everything seems to work.

Can anybody tell me if i have missed any other files or refs. i need to change?
If this is the way to do it, can anyone tell what we need to copy from the master to the duplicate when maintaining so we get the changed content (product, prices etc.) copied late on when the content in the "master" is changed?

Best regards Tommy
