  • Site is finished, how do I make it live on the web?

    Posted 15 years 7 months ago
    • I'm a Joomla noob so please forgive my ignorance in this matter.

      I downloaded the awesome Affinity template, set up MAMP on my Mac, created the database, installed the Joomla RocketTheme with the sample content. I made all of my image and content modifications and now I'm ready to make this site live on the web.

      I'm making a few assumptions here but I may be missing something so I'm looking for some guidance.

      Here's what I plan to do.
      1. Copy the contents of my directory in MAMP to the new directory on my server.
      2. Export my database from MAMP PHP MyAdmin
      3. Import the database to the live server.
      4. Make sure the site can see the database. (I'm thinking that I may need to make some modifications here but am not sure)

      That's it, I think. Like I said, looking for some guidance in this area.

      Thanks for your help!

    • Change the paths to the tmp folder and the log folder in the config file.

    • Config file. Great. I'll do that. I'm uploading right now, so this will take a while.

      Thanks.

    • Ok, question. I'm looking at my config file. The current paths to the log and tmp folders are the MAMP/htdocs/.../logs and MAMP/htdocs/tmp.

      Should my new paths be the site url /logs and /tmp like this: www.mysite.com/logs ?

      OR should it just be /logs and /tmp?

      Thanks again.

    • Use JoomlaPack, it will make all the necessary changes when you run the installer on the server.

      You'll be up and running in the time it takes to run a regular Joomla install or the Rocket Launcher.

    • You can find the paths by running a file with the following code on your server:
       
<?php
 
phpinfo();
 
?>
