At the last step, got a question

At this point I have installed zc with all mods on my test site, everything is working perfectly. The template is built from zc's "classic".

Installed zc on my dot.com, imported my osc databases and configured the store. I copied "classic" into my custom template folder & installed that.

I want to make sure I don't mess up this last step -- Can I just upload all of the pages (which includes all the changes from the mods installed) from my test site to my dot.com site or do I have to redo all of the mods on my dot.com site & then just upload my template pages?

No you can upload it all to your web server, but you are going to have to run the zc_install again and chose upgrade, because you will be restoring your database from the test database the one that's configured with the mods.

And you are going to have to run the cache fix key you can find that in the free software add ons section under tools, you will need to run that.

I probably didn't explain this well. My .info is my test site. My .com is my actual store, which is currently osc. I installed zc on my .com and imported my osc databases to it. Now to finish the .com store, I just need the mods I installed on the test site & my template. Only the .php pages are being uploaded & any sql patches needed for the mods I will run on the .com zc install.

If I run the install again, won't I overwrite all my files?

In all reality you should be able to upload only your includes directory. You might need your admin folder too if you made changes there.

MAKE SURE THAT YOU BACK UP YOUR configure.php FIRST and Save your admin/includes/configure.php too!
