Hi All,

I created my site on a different domain name then I want the site on so I could test the system and to make sure everything works and looks fine before I replace the original site.

Is there an easy way to move the entire site over to the new domain, or do I just have manually recreate everything?

Any help would be appreciated…

Thanks,

Doug

Is it from yoursite.com/test or from yoursite.com to yournew site.com? different servers or same?

From one domain /server to another domain/server:

1. (from the original domain/server) export mysql database
2. copy all files over to new server
3. create new mysql database on new domain/server
4. import mysql database to the database you just created
5. edit the configuration.php file from the new domain/server
– change mysql username
– change mysql password
– change paths
– smtp address, username, password (if used)
6. Test your new site by clicking on links, using contact form, etc.

Someone else can chime in if I missed something, which I probably did. :-[
