Hi.
I tested some patches for PP on a local server using XAMPP.
I now have a good install locally for 8.0.3
and I want to use it on my working server...
How should I do that without the risk of loosing my data?
Can I just copy-paste all the folders from local to production server?
Also, I've tested the latest SVN trunk with other patches...
How can I put it on the production server? Do I have to re-install PP on the server? or again, can I just copy-paste all the folders?
At the end of the day, the real question is: where is the configuration file that says where the database is located?
Any risk of loosing it?
Thanks
If you wish to reuse the database then:
Make sure your database can be accessed over the network/internet.
Simply copy all software over to your production server.
Modify the database access in /config/config.php.
Make sure the root url is okay with your setup. See config.php.
If you plan to use a new database:
Install freshly on your new server
(this will create all tables and does all the checks)
Copy all software over to your production server.
Export and import all tables if you need the info in those tables.
