Creating site locally and uploading to server?

Permalink
Is this even an option? I want to create a Concrete5 site locally and then upload it to a server. I'm sure I need to change config info, but will this completely break a site if I try to do this? Are there literal links, like Wordpress, that would break the site?

I'm a total newbie, FYI.

Thank you!

Nope, it works fine. The only gotcha that I know of is making sure that the database case sensitivity setting is appropriate, if you're using Windows.

Thanks! That is MUCH easier than Wordpress! One more question ... Getting the database migrated to the server. If I have access to PHP MyADMIN, can I just export the SQL data from my local DB and run it on an SQL query on the server? Hope that makes sense...

That's how I do everything. Build locally, zip up the files and upload through FTP, import the SQL through phpmyadmin or whatever database access is possbile and there you go.
