Moving, or migrating

[ragou]

Hi everybody,
I still don't know how to move the site I've made on my localhost to a real host. Of course I know where I have to change the path to the GS, but it's not the solution. The solution is when you say to me what shall I do. It's a cms for god sake. I'm tired of reading in what line I have to make changes. I don't understand - is this a php developers' forum, or place where you has to be hired, or GetSimple place? I still hope that it's a GS place. It's too late to be hired as a "coder".
You should be born 20 years ago.
No offense please.
Best regards.
Zarko.

And I forgot - you are ckeditor's agents (of course) because the question how can I implement mce editor remained with no answer.

To move/migrate a GetSimple site, try this (I hope I'm not leaving out something):

Install GS on your new/public server (don't worry about username, password, and settings -- they will be replaced).

(If it's the first time you install GetSimple in that server, it's strongly recommended you test it now: do a website healthcheck, create and edit some pages...)

Upload from your localhost/old site the following files and folders (with their contents), overwriting existing ones:

- gsconfig.php (if exists)
- data
- plugins
- theme

(If your site is not in English, also upload your language file(s) to admin/lang folder.)

Now log in again, but with the username and password you used for localhost/old site.

Go to Setup -> Website Base URL:
Change "http://localhost..." (or whatever) to your new site URL
(you can copy it from the "Our suggestion is:..." message that should be displayed below)

Save settings. You're done (I hope :-))

Thanks Carlos for writing it and SimpleSharps for pushing me to add it to the docs: http://get-simple.info/docs/migrating-server/

Something I forgot to mention in this pseudo-tutorial is that, if you had links or images in your pages with complete URLs ("http://...") you should change them or else the new site will possibly have broken links, images not displayed...

(While developing the site in localhost, it could be advisable to use relative URLs in pages....)

[ccagle8]

agreed. I will put that in the doc as well. Thanks again Carlos

I've updated the "tutorial" post (text inserted in bold)

Say, where is that Help doc on Moving/Migrating these days?

Now on 3.0. Wondering if it has changed?
