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 :-))
