Duplicating the entire website - simplest way?
Hello,
In order to duplicate the entire Zen Cart store to a different location (for example, to have a development/test store based on the actual store) - would I need to re-install anything, or will the following procedure work? :
1 - Copy the entire store folder tree to the new location
2 - Create a duplicate of the database on the new server (exporting/importing with phpMyAdmin for example)
3 - Change Zen Cart's configuration file (at the new location) to use the new database, host name, and SSL info
This may be a silly question.. I'm just asking in order to prevent any possibility that the new copy would still mess up the old one's database, in case that I miss anything.
Thanks!
