How to create full cart, and then upload

I created my website on my testserver as localhost/zencart. I am now ready to upload my entire cart to my actual server. I am not sure how to do this. I looked at a couple other posts, but they all looked different, and no clear guideline of how to do this. Anybody able to help? Unfortunately this chapter was not in the new book of zen cart.

FTP the full set of files from your local to your host.
Create a DB backup from your local.
Create a DB on your host noting the DB Server, DB name, DB user, DB password
Restore the DB backup to your host DB that you created

Edit the 2 configure.php files to represent the changes.

Could you please explain where in those 2 files I need to change settings. Would appreciate this a lot....

Also, please confirm that I do not need to run install zc again if I do as described in your post. Thanks

Same file version and DB version no need for zc_install

configure.php files

includes/

admin/includes

Got it... Worked like a charm... Thanks Kobra!
