Hi,

I have built a site using Teline III V2 J1.6 on my localhost WAMP on Win7.
How do I (what is the easiest way to) move the whole thing including data to my Hostgator host?

Thanks.

Hi ceeyee

There are components that can do that for you, the best one is Akeeba backup

If you don’t know how, you must read some documentation but it’s very easy.

Pavit is correct about using Akeeba backup. Here are the basic steps:

Install Akeeba backup.

Create a backup and download it.

Upload the backup to the directory that you wish to contain the working site.

Also, upload (to the same directory) a script that is free on Akeeba’s site called “kickstart.php”

In Cpanel, create a blank database and user and write down your user and password, etc.

Using your web browser, navigate to the install directory. Use its URL followed by /kickstart.php

Follow the instructions! The latest version of kickstart.php is supposed to remove the install directory, but make sure that’s done.

The people at Akeeba (Nicholas for one) do incredible work. I recommend their admin tools product. It performs some basic but important security functions, like changing default database table prefixes, admin numbers and directory permissions.

Good luck.
