Duplicate a htlm_public installation to a newdomain folder

[iciwing]

I have a running site under the home/xxx/public_html. I want to duplicate the site with a different newdomain name and new database. I donwload a zc_install zip in the new domain folder. Unzip it. Run newdomain.com/zc_installfolder/zc_install.

Now for the Store physical path I give Home/xxx/newdomain.com. The system gives me a message saying that I have a problem with the path. Asking fix or continue.Should I continu?

I want to used the both sites in running mode

Thanks

FTP to newdomain.com and put this PHP file in the root folder, named "getcwd.php"

<?php
echo getcwd();

Then run it from your browser:

newdomain.com/getcwd.php

This will print out the exact path that you should use in your configure files.

Remember that the storefront /includes/configure.php file is marked read-only (permissions 444), so you need to "un-read-only" it (permissions 644) before you can either edit or overwrite that file.
