Transfer C5 installation and all files
Permalink 1 user found helpful
Hi there,
When I work on clients C5 websites, I do so in my sites addons directory (test.mysite.com.au).
I was wondering how I can easily transfer these completed sites with their mysql stuff as well?
Basically all files created, content, sql tables etc? I'm not exepecting a one click process or anything, just a little help in how to transfer them piece by piece from my test server to the clients hosting account.
Thank you in advance for any support anyone can provide.

First you export the database of the development version of your site.
You then log-in to the dashboard of your site, disable friendly URL's if you have them enabled and under site-wide settings you clear cache, choose disable caching and then click on update cache. After doing that you create a database and import the database to your hosting server using phpmyadmin or whatever is easy for you, upload the web directory to the location you want your site to be hosted on, then edit the \config\site.php files, with the db name, db username password and the site URL, then you CHMOD the following directories
\config CHMOD 777
\files CHMOD 777 recursive to sub-directories and files
\packages CHMOD 777
Once you are done with these steps you can access the site by it URL, check the dashboard and enable cache, friendly url's etc.
