How to move Site 5.6.0.2?
Permalink 1 user found helpful
Hello,
I just started a new site (5.6.0.2). Installed the site on the remote server and then used ftp to copy the files to my local system and used mysql_dump to copy the entire database.
When trying to start the new site on my local system i get a '500 Internal Server Error'
In the passed i used to do this before to have a development copy on my local system, how do you do this with 5.6.0.2
thanks

PS I have no problem starting a new 5.6.0.2 on my local system but i want to keep using ftp/mysql_dump to keep my local system in sync

We've all done it!
I usually use my host's File Manager to 'compress' my files into a zip file and then download the zip to my local system. I then FTP the zip file up to my new server and use the host's File Manager again to expand the zip into it's new location. Much, much, much faster and more reliable.

You can also use Backup Voodoo

to make a zipped up copy ready to unzip on another host and database.

Thanks for the replies,
Something new i noticed with 5.6 is that there is a Config table in the database with a ENVIRONMENT_CACHE field in it. When trying to fix my problem i also had to manually empty this field before the site would go back online in the new location.
Maybe this could help someone in the future
@mhawke, I will take a look at the zipping option and exclude the cache folder in the process. I have full access to the server so i could put this in a script.
@John, thanks for the suggestion.
