Hi everyone,
First post as a new user , am very excited and anxious to get started but need help before I do.
Am looking for advise on how to set up the following;
I would like to develop a site then transport / copy to the actual live site when its complete. I have an existing site that I want to keep up until the new and improved joomla one is ready to go. I think I can set up the new site in a sub directory of the live one but not sure how I would "copy" into the live bucket afterwards. (or if this is even a good idea)
Sorry if this is vague, I will gladly provide more info if needed.
thanks in advance,
Mike

Welcome Mikep! Check the Joomla forums. There's plenty of info on how to move your site from one directory to another. In a nutshell, it's as simple as copying your files from development directory to the live directory and making some changes in your config file. In some cases you have to create a new db depending on what you want to do but if you are not familiar with this, I highly recommend reading the forums to get a good feel of what you need to do.
Cheers,
Robert

Hi Mike
You can easily just create the site in a sub directory or another URL then simply upload it to the new domain when ready - Just edit the configuration files to take into account the new paths. - If its on the same server or hosting console then you wont have to worry about the Database.
