Guest Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 Hello, I am currently using osCommerce to build up a site that we hope to get up for the place I work up, but to make sure that everything I use to demonstrate to my manager it is under a test domain. I want to move everything done to a new domain name, how would I go about doing this? I know I have to download all files and the database, what else would I need to update.
Flyer5 Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 Hello, I am currently using osCommerce to build up a site that we hope to get up for the place I work up, but to make sure that everything I use to demonstrate to my manager it is under a test domain. I want to move everything done to a new domain name, how would I go about doing this? I know I have to download all files and the database, what else would I need to update. 1. make a dump file from the database, be sure to get tables and data. 2. make an exact copy of all the files on your current server 3. Upload all the files to the new server 4. run the mysql dump on the new server 5. edit includes/configure.php to reflect your new server settings 6. edit admin/includes/configure.php as above 7. recreate the htaccess for admin if you were using it, or create it as the case may be. 8. change the nameservers on the domain to point to the new account (if applicable :) ) thats it, it should all be working.
