Question About Migration - mikeh - 2011-04-12

I have a question about migrating to a new server or upgrading (In my case, local -> server):

Does anyone know the exact files that need to be overwritten when migrating?

are you just copying all files, or are you trying to copy just the data files over from one installation to another?

regardless, the root level .htaccess file will probably need to change (Rewrite Base) and also the URL within your settings.

This may or may not be of any help: http://get-simple.info/wiki/installation:migrating

check out the corresponding page on migration in the wiki, it should give you directions.

Thanks, I am aware of that article though.
I Am trying to just overwrite the files that are required to be overwritten, rather then put a new getsimple installation and upload my old theme, data, plugins folder.

i guess i'm not following then. Are you upgrading too? otherwise you can copy over ALL the GS files from localhost to the new server then change the URL in the two places i mentioned above.

I killed my reply before I saw yours. Like Chris, I'm not following either.

Awesome, I think that answers my question. Sorry for the confusion.
