Question re: Subdomains and moving to actual domain
Permalink 1 user found helpful
Hi. I just installed concrete5 onto a subdomain (newsite.bikepartjewelry.com) so I can create my website without disabling the one I have (http://www.bikepartjewelry.com - it's a blogger blog but I have a custom domain).
I'm curious if this is the best way to go about creating my new website with the least amount of problem moving to the real domain once I'm done creating it.
Any help is much appreciated.

As long as you can and are comfortable with moving the database I would say so. I believe most just do a sql dump and move the site. I have found it to be the best way.
I do this:
1.) use phpmyadmin or whatever tool to export the database from the source site.
2.) clear source site cache
3.) ftp download all direcories/files from the source site's webroot (or where ever C5 lives).
4.) import the database into the new target mySQL database
5.) ftp upload all your source directories/files to your new web root target.
6.) on target site, change database constants (DB_USERNAME, DB_PASSWORD, DB_DATABASE) and BASE_URL in the config/site.php
Note: I'm not sure your have to clear the cache, but it makes sense to. You also don't have to copy as many files that way(i'm guessing).

How to do this is not a oddball, fringe question.
Is the correct procedure for achieving this officially documented? If so, where?
If not, why not?
