These are the steps to use when moving a store, if your site is already on your local computer you can just skip step 2

 

Steps to follow when moving a site

 

1. Backup database in your osC admin.

2. Ftp all your files to your local computer

3. Create new database and user at new location making sure you assign user to database. ( It is a three step process, create database, create user, add user to database)

4. Edit your two configure.php files using your new database info and path info on your new server

5. Ftp all your files to new location

6. using phpmyadmin (or whatever tool your hosting company supplies) populate database with sql file from last backup you did (from step 1)

 

Store should be up and going.

The Knowledge Base is a wonderful thing.

Do you have a problem? Have you checked out Common Problems?

There are many very useful osC Contributions

Are you having trouble with a installed contribution? Have you checked out the support thread found Here

BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP!!! You did backup, right??
