    Migration method

    Posted 16 years 2 months ago
    • I am trying to figure the best way to migrate an existing site to a Rocket Theme template. The site currently uses a free template from Joomlashack and you can view it here:

      http://www.soncoastchrysalis.org

      I have copies the site over to a developmental sub-domain for testing only and installed the template but it it hard and laborious to get it set up like the demo.

      I have thought about using the Rocket Laucher version and import my SQL database but I am not sure if this will trim the setup time.

      Any ideas on the quickest may to do this?

    • i think the best way to do this would be by creating a test environment, e.g. yourdomain.com/new

      then copy over your site to that directory, create a copy of the database and use that instead of the database for your live site

      then install the template and play. when you are ready move it over to yoursite.com

    • That is the conclusion I have come up with too. I was hoping there was an easier way but it looks like that is it.

      Rocketlauncher package comes with fresh joomla install as it already has everything of a demo template
