Changing Concrete5 from test server to live
Permalink
Hi I've developed a website in Concrete5 on a test server and now need to put it live on the client's domain. I've copied the site across and it works despite me not deploying the database. Why does it work without importing the database? What issues might I run into?
Ah right that would explain it. Where it it referenced then please? Because my config\site.php database reference is define('DB_SERVER', 'localhost');
That is where it's referenced, so clearly that's not it...
Are you sure you're looking at the live site? You don't have anything in your hosts file to point you at your local site instead of live?
Are you sure you haven't uploaded the database to your live server?
Are you definitely seeing your added content?
Do you have a link to your live domain I could look at, see if I see the same thing?

Thanks for your help.
Are you sharing hosting space of these two domains on one hosting account?
Yes same shared IP of a reseller hosting account. I've just tested it and that is the reason. Thanks guys.
If you have content on your site, then it is looking at a database with content in...
