Xfering install from local to production server

Hi,

Is it possible to set up on a local machine, then change the config files to the names of the production server then upload all files and run the sql?

I am asking because I think I will have problems with getting the permissions set properly for the config files to be written to.

Any advise, suggestions, guidelines apreciated :smile:

Setting permissions will need to be done on the specific server you're using.
Setting permissions on windows-hosted servers can often be a pain. It's one good reason to use non-windows hosting if you don't need it for other reasons.

Re: Xfering install from local to production server

Thank you so much for your replies!

The organisation that I am doing this for already has a site on a windows server. I did offer them options and they choose to stay with their provider, so windows joy, here I come!

Once again, thank you for replying :-)
