Database transfer from .com to .com?

12-1-04, 08:11 PM

ok i built an oscommerce site from scratch on a temp location awaiting its completion so I can then move it all to the "REAL" (.com) location. NOW...?
I want to make sure I do this right because I do not want to mess with this to much since on the orginal built site everything is running ok.

My biggest concern is the database and maintaining all the working contributions installed, so do I export the database as a .sql file and then place it in the install folder to be a part of the new set up ? OR do I install the package bare and then simply query the database once I have the site installed??

Please give me your suggestion.

Thanks Graphicpoet

Depending on the size of the exported database you could use http://phpmyadmin.poweb.com to import the exported file into the new database. You then would simply need to move the files over to the correct location and update a few things in the /catalog/includes/configure.php ans /catalog/admin/includes/configure.php files.
