Georg,

your first question: answer is here: http://get-simple.info/wiki/installation:local_server

your second question: answer is here: http://get-simple.info/wiki/installation:migrating

you see, you can develop locally and move it to the server then

1 problem: Links to internal pages and images will have complete and not relative adress, so these links will not work on the server

My steps are in that case:

- open all pages in Notepad++
- run a search/replace "local URL" <=> "Server URL", for example:
replace "http://127.0.0.1/getsimple" with "http://www.yourdomain.xx/"

also check that the ReWriteBase in .htaccess is ok

if you have more questions, don't hesitate to ask!

Cheers, Connie
