Hi all,
Firstly - if this post is in the wrong place, please accept my apologies and move as needed.
We are currently in the process of moving an established site from one web server which is almost 7 years old, to a new, powerful shiny server. The new server has a static IP address and will not be shared with anything. The domain now, will also be secured via SSL.
When we first installed ZenCart many many years ago, we did not really know what we were doing and so added a load of junk, template was messy, pictures taken were poor and not very good looking at all if I am being honest.
So we have taken the decision to do a 'clean' install, only install the plug-ins that are essential and re-add all items new with updated weights/pictures/descriptions etc.
We have 2 domains, for ease
www.domain1.co.uk (current site) and
www.domain2.co.uk (new site).
My questions are:
1) When we have finished setting up the new site, and it has been fully tested, we will then be adding
www.domain1.co.uk to the server, installing ZenCart and doing a migration from
www.domain2.co.uk, including database and all files. Will this be pretty straight forward?
2) The ONLY data that we will want from the old database will be customer data, order history, usernames/passwords etc. No catalog data, nothing store related just customer details. Does anyone have any experience in doing this? Is there a script or a defined set of commends to use>?
Any help would be hugely appreciated.
Kind regards
Stu
