Moving an install

Submitted by newbie69 on Mon, 2012-11-12 13:32 in

Is it possible to move an install ?

Specifically from the root of a static site to a wordpress site - in the /pt folder and using the PT plugin ?

Thanks

Hi,

No problem - you can use the Database Tool to help in moving an install. The Database Tool backs up all database aspects of your current installation (except for the products table itself which is re-created on the first full import after the move).

After running the Database Tool and storing the Backup_.xml file safely on your local computer; move the installation to the /pt/ folder of your WordPress installation. Once there, or before uploading the files to the new location don't forget to update line 6 of config.php as follows

  $config_baseHREF = "/pt/";

...and also the $config_database... settings to be the same as your WordPress database settings.

Next, browse to /pt/setup.php and click the link to install the tables, and then return to the Database Tool and paste the contents of the Backup file into the Restore form and submit to restore the database. Double check that the restore has worked successfully by checking that any Featured Products, Category Mappings etc. have been restored.

Finally re-import the feeds back into the new database!

Hope this helps!

Cheers,
David.
