createateddy Posted February 4, 2005 Posted February 4, 2005 I want to create a new site exactly the same as my current one. I assume I just copy the current contents of my existing one and paste into the new but my question is more SQL related. I know nothing about SQL but know enough that things won't work without exporting and importing my database/databases. Where can I find or can someone provide step by step instuctions (for dummies) on doing this. Also, I will change the logon info for the site as well as database, so help there would also be apprecriated. I plan on giving affiliates my site basically with their own domain name and logon info. THANKS A BUNCH OSCOMMERCE ROCKS!!!! John Furniss www.CreateATeddy.com www.TeddyBearCreations.com
detriMENtal Posted February 4, 2005 Posted February 4, 2005 i just did this.. what i did was yes, copy all the files and folders into my new directory. As for the database, i used phpmyadmin. When you login to your phpmyadmin(which is pretty much standard amongst hosting accounts now) you will see a link titled "export". Thats what u want to do. it will spit out all your sql into a file, i think you can choose to save it in a file or spit it to the browser. Then create a new database, and go to the SQL tab. Copy and paste all the sql or use the file to import it, and walla it automatically recreates everything. Just have a snoop around phpmyadmin its not very difficult.
