tmachena Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Hello guys. Firstly, I just want to thank you guys for the good work and all the support. This forum is intensly helpful. My gratitude... Anyhow, i had a question I needed to ask. 1. I am running an apache server at home with the latedt PHP and MYSQL and my shop operates well. I however also have a shop running on a webhost with my url etcetera. Now, i do not have internet acess at home and i wish to mirror the two. Whenever I need to make changes to my web store, i have to test it first at home then do it again at the internet cafe. Now I have literally thousands of images to load (items for sale) and it can take hours doing all the descriptions at the internet cafe, ($$$ too), so I was wondering, can I do it at home, save my database, then upload it to the web hosted one? If so how do I do it? Regards Marshal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, I just saw this thread and it caught my eye. I see your answer above to the question, however, being a newbie I still don't get the answer. Could you explain in more detail how to use this phpMyAdmin feature or the backup/restore menu feature to add things to on oscommerce store? Thanks so much!

Hi Leslie, This is not exactly the place to tell about phpMyAdmin but in short you have the option there to select a database and export one, more or all tables inside this database. You can save the output to a file and this file you can use for import in another osCommerce database. The osCommerce built in backup facility is almost the same in that area except that you can only export/import (backup/restore) the complete database and not individual tables. There is a contribution called Easy Populate which can work far more specific though ! regards, Howard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
