Site Transfer -- am I missing anything?

[evalguy]

I've been developing my osC site on an existing hosting plan I have, and a couple hours ago I got a new hosting plan for the production site. In the middle of ftp-ing the files/directory structure now, but want to make sure I don't miss anything. So far I have to...

- Transfer files.

- Setup/verify .htaccess/permissions.

- Setup database.

- Modify catalog/includes/configure.php as appropriate.

 

I also purchase an SSL certificate, so once that is setup (within 72 hrs they say), I expect I'll need to modify the configure.php file for that.

 

Is that all, or am I missing something here?

 

Cheers,

-Neil.

Something else I just thought of -- how do I transfer the database structure & config data? I would prefer not to re-install osc and then try to re-install the contribs etc. Is it possible/simple to copy the database structure over with the data in there?

 

Cheers,

You will need to ammend the admin/includes/configure.php as well.

 

You can use phpmyadmin to setup the database and import the sql file.

Cool, thanks.

This is what I'm unclear on still -- the DB got created when I installed osCe, but I won't be using the installation routine again, so would I need to manually create each table with the fields and datatypes? Or is there a script? Or is there a way to export the table structure from the existing database and use that as a script to re-create the tables? It's been a while since I've used databases (Informix, Oracle), but I remember that there was a way to do this with those. I'm a significant newbie at MySQL, and haven't found an answer thru google yet.
