How Do I Move Test Site to Web

[rivercity]

I am at a stage where I would like to move from my local computer (xampp),

to my web host. What is the correct way of doing this? Tried a few different ways

with no success.

Thanks, Allan

This is how I did it, it has worked in the past but I'm having a few problems with my latest attempt.

1. Install OScommerce on you host site
   
2. Download your entire test site
   
3. export your test site db
   
4. drop all the tables in your life db
   
5. import the test site db sql
   
6. upload using ftp the test site files and folders
   

One extra thing, ensure you take a copy of your new site config.php files from both admin\includes and catalog\includes - make sure your have these for the live site, do not use the test site ones, but check if any contributions added anything and you may need to amend manually.

 

Hope this helps.

With step 1, make sure it is the same osc version.
