How to move from development to production

Permalink
Hello,
Apologies if there is a document/page for this but I couldn't find one.

How do you move your site from development to production? i.e. from a local system onto the live website:

- Does the database only contain content and page layout data and no site configuration so can be restored after the site is installed?

- Do I have to install the software on the server or can I just copy and edit some configuration files such as database/email details, website base url, etc.

- How do I get all my file assets like files, etc up into the real site

- What files in the file system are configuration files that need to be modified

Thanks.

Thanks. Never saw that :)

What about email details (like what is used as from address, server name, etc)?
