| by Peekay on 2005/8/31 0:08:01 If you prefer to build XOOPS locally, just install XOOPS and set whatever paths you need to get it working. When the site is finished, dump the DB to a SQL file with PHPMyAdmin. Dump your old site DB too and download that SQL file with the files and folders (in case you need to re-use them). Then upload the new files and folders, set the folder permissions and re-set the paths in the config. Finally, empty the old DB and re-populate it from the new SQL. I would recommend you use BIGDUMP for this, which enables you to upload the SQL file via FTP and populate the DB online. The only problem is that some modules (not all) store absolute paths in the database. I recently saw a cool SQL script that would correct this automatically. I'll try to locate it. You'll find info on BIGDUMP here somewhere, or in the FAQ, if you do a search. |

| by pmcnamara on 2005/8/30 23:14:24 John.. I'd suggest you set up a 2nd level directory.. like http://www.domainname.com/home and build your new site in the home directory.. then once you have it all done, you can just re-direct the http://www.domainname.com/index.htm to the home/index.html Otherwise, I'd recommend the flash tutorials at http://www.warpigw2.com where there is a very through tutorial on moving a XOOPS site. |

| by johntrot on 2005/8/30 22:55:56 I currently have a XOOPS site up and running, but I find that I want to make major changes and would like to setup a complete new site to replace the old one but don't want to take down the first site until the second is ready. How can I setup this new site on my home computer with the correct "paths" and know it is working before I upload it to the server. |
