How To Migrate Get Simple To New Domain And New Host really Confused i am Going To Move From Shared host to personal hosting and free domain to paid domain can anyone help me need help in migrating get simple....pls help urgent pls...............
I Read The Wiki Portion But Did Not Understand A Thing .....
The wiki is a bit difficult to navigate atm, sorry, but presume you found the page
http://get-simple.info/wiki/installation:migrating .
The procedure should not be difficult
- Do a clean install of GS on the new server
- Copy the folders Data, Plugins and Theme from the old location, overwriting the folders of the clean install
- Change the Site URL in Settings in Admin
- Find and mend broken links (eg to images)
Let us know where you get stuck.
Step between 1 and 2:
open all files from data directory in an editor and update the URls in these files using search - replace... (old URL => NEW URL)
upload these files to your new destination

Thanks For The Info and Thanks for helping....
Is It necessary to do the things u said (connie)
if you develop on host #1 and want to migrate to host #2 all URLs of images etc. are complete and not relative URLs, so they will point to the old host / domain/ local environment
that is why you have to change all URLs and that is done best with a global search and replace
