I have a question here. So...I've designed my site, though I've been doing it on a localhost - there is currently NO web hosting attached to it. I am looking to "connect the plumbing" and move the site over to Hostgator, where a domain name is already waiting for it.
So my question is, do I move this by importing a database file, or FTP, or what? I guess basically what's the best way to move this over?
Any and all advice is welcomed, though the simpler the answer the better, as I am still a Young Grasshopper with this stuff admittedly.
Welcome. I would check the How-To's section under documentation as there have been many step by step tutorials written on this, starting with this one:
Many thanks for your response. I looked at that article, and honestly, I've only been working with C5/CMS for 3 weeks - so even that how-to was pretty Egyptian to me, unfortunately.
I guess I pretty much need the "For Dummies" version...
1. Export your database. Use phpMyAdmin - and export the whole database.
2. Zip up your concrete5 site.
3. Create a database on hostgator, use phpMyAdmin, and import your sql file.
4. Upload and decompress that zip file.
5. Go to /config/site.php - and modify the database information to point to your database on hostgator.
6. Voila.
Michael:
Does this work for Bluehost as well or is this Hostgator specific, because I have the exact same issue as Lisa?
I tried your steps but it doesn't recognize it, all I get is a blank page.
