    • Hi,

      I have an existing smf site that is working well, and fairly active. I am working on a Joomla/SMF site to replace it. I dont want the joomla site to go live untill i have all the content in place.

      I want to install it on on either a sub domain (beta.mynewsite.com) or into a sub directory.

      My question is, once I do want it to go live, is there an easy way to move the entire joomla application, content and all to the new live domain ( www.mynewsite.com )?

      And considering that, does it matter if its in a sub domain or a sub directory? (by sub domain i can issue access to others to help work on the content while not allowing them access to my smf board)

      Thanks,

      Chris

    • If your copying the entire site to another server.

      mysqldump the data from the database.

      Zip the files and transfer them to the new server.

      Reimport the Database.

      Edit configuration.php and make sure you adjust any paths or URLs in it, there's only a few anyway.

    • Thanks for the info, sounds easy.

      Does anyone know of a super simple guide for phpmyadmin? especially having to do with installing it? The existing one talks about creating files, but I dont know the first thing about php...

      thanks,

      chris

    • Pay someone to do it... www.toolboxcreations.co.uk ... ;)

      PHPMyAdmin can be a PITA if the you use different hosts and they have different installations of PHPMyAdmin...but of course you can always install your own versions and configure.

      Best way is to create a site locally using JSAS then move it to your host when it's ready.

    • Just make sure you dump your database with Full Inserts and drops as well.

      Compression won't hurt either if you've got quite a large database.

      I only ever use the command line anyway.

      mysqldump -u root -p databasename > backup.sql

      then reimport.

      mysql -u root -p newdatabase < backup.sql

    • I'm running into a problems.

      i have copied and moved my existing joomla site - squareorbitstudios.com to a new subdomain site for testing... laservueaesthetics.squareorbitstudios.com/ . I have corrected all the file paths to reflect the new subdomain.
      Here are the errors i get below when you go to the new subdomain site listed above. I would appreciate any help or advice.
