Title: Backup or How to move from local to web?
Post by: Xyrk0 on February 22, 2007, 14:13:34

Hi all.
I am new and have a little question. If i install elxis in wamp on my local comp. I made all translation and customization. Now i want to tranfer this to my webhosting. How can i do it? Because i dont want to do all translations and customizations again.
It is possible to make full backup XML and SQL too. Than install elxis on web. Go to phpmyadmin on web and delete all tables and import sql code from backupfile? But what about XML backup file how import this file to the web? It is some tool like backup which make not only backup but also restore from backup?

Thanks for your answer.

Hi Xyrk0,

Transfer of an Elxis installation can be done in 4 steps.

1) Copy all files from local to target.

2) Get an sql dump of the database using phpMyAdmin.

3) Edit the .sql file and modify all occurencies of local URLs to ones that reflect to the new URLs (e.g. http://localhost/elxis is converted to http://www.live-elxis.com).

4) Modify configuration.php to reflect changes to paths and URL.

That's all that is needed.
