Moving dev site to live
Permalink
Hi,
I have been working on a site that has been located underhttp://www.domain.com/NEW
I'm ready to go live and move the files tohttp://www.domain.com
What is the best way to do this so I know I don't run into trouble?
This is the description in HELP. Is it still valid:
Move Files to Root Directory
You will probably want your concrete5 installation in the root directory of your web server. Double click on the folder name (concrete5.4.1.1) to see a listing of the concrete5 files, then click the black check mark at the top left of the file listing, this will select all the files in the folder. Now click the Move icon at the top of the File Manager. You will be prompted to select a destination, click the html folder in the left hand column then click OK. All the files will be moved to the root directory. You can navigate back by clicking on html in the left hand directory tree. The empty folder with the same as the concrete5 Zip file can be deleted.
And finally, my ISP is using Installatron. Will the install and update setting be updated there as well?

Thank you. However, I'm not comfortable that this will delete the existing files on /www completely, and update the Installatron settings if necessary.
Going by the same sample as the user before me:
Go to /home/your_user/public_html/
then do this:
And then go back to the /home/your_user/public_html/ to edit your config/site.php.
You will now have your new site running live while the old one is in the backup folder.
Go to /home/your_user/public_html/
then do this:
mkdir backup mv * backup cd backup/NEW mv * ../../
And then go back to the /home/your_user/public_html/ to edit your config/site.php.
You will now have your new site running live while the old one is in the backup folder.
(directory paths might differ in different environments & setups)
Other option is to do some .htaccess magic some people have suggested here.
