Moving from windows to linux

[mydssbin]

I have developed the site in the windows environment and now would like to move the site to Linux.

- Both windows and Linux are running apache & mysql

 

Can it be done?

What do I need to do?

 

Thanks

You should be able to

 

1. ftp all your source code from your catalog folder down to the new Linux site.

 

2. Use the admin tool to back up your database, it creates a SQL ascii file to allow you to re-create your site on the linux box.

 

3. create your database on linux box with phpmyadmin, then run phpmyadmin and point to the SQL file back on your windows site. (Use the browse for SQL file feature of myphpadmin). This will create all the tables and re-popoulate the tables with your data.

 

4. Edit your catalog and admin includes/configure.php files with any changed values for the new site.
