Transfer database?

Permalink
Hello.

I currently have a website ending with a slash.www.www.open3dtraining.com/live...
In the near future I want to transfer "Live" to ".com"

What I've done before is download the ENTIRE directory, then delete EVERYTHING from the server, and then upload everything. Takes forever. So first question: Is there an easier way?

And second question.

Once I move "Live" to ".com", can I copy and transfer the database of users? Or would the users have to re-register again?


Thanks!
Juan J.

If you have a host that uses CPanel, you can log into the file manager and simply move all of your files up one directory level.

Then, if you want to change your root url, simply modify the site.php file inside of the /config/ folder. Add these 2 lines or modify them if they already exist:

define('BASE_URL', 'http://www.open3dtraining.com');
define('DIR_REL', '');


Finally, make sure to clear your Concrete5 cache from the Systems & Settings page in the dashboard.
