Copy site and data to new domain
21 December 2008 at 10:09am
Is there a way to duplicate a site and database to create a similar site with similar data?
In stead of starting over, I would like to download from the first site, create (restore ?) a database, upload the files and then modify the content. Is this possible?

=) Well, yes.. if you copy the files and the database to another server then you will have replicated the site.
Although, perhaps you would find the subsites module useful to create multiple sites from the same SilverStripe installation.

I understand that the files can copy fine. But I am having trouble importing the database from the first site - has a different user name.
Do I make a database first, install Siverstripe, then import?
Can I restore a database into a new user? If so, what about the install for silverstripe? Or do I not need to install then?
Any guidence as to the steps I would take to do this?
Step 1. Copy all files to new site (user)
Step 2. Make a backup of the database of the first site.
Step 3. ... ???Thank you,

If you're having trouble restoring your database with a different username, you probably need to look that up first - it doesn't have anything to do with SilverStripe.
But this should be whole process start to finish:
1. Create a dump of your database with mysqldump -u [username] -p [password] [databasename] > [backupfile.sql]
2. Copy your SilverStripe files to a new host
3. Modify your mysite/_config.php file with your new database information
4. Restore the database on the new server with mysql -u [username] -p [password] [database_to_restore] < [backupfile]
5. Run /db/build?flush=1 and check for errors. -

Thank you, I will give it a try, but before I do, please pardon me for not understanding the code you are using.
mysqldump: Is this something I do from the address or inside phpmyadmin, or what?
Can I do what you are saying inside phpmyadmin?
mysqldump -u [username] -p [password] [databasename] > [backupfile.sql]
mysqldump -u [abc] -p [123] [databasename] > [backupfile.sql]
mysqldump -u abc -p 123 databasename > backupfile.sql
Where do I do this?

Sorry, I forgot to click on the link you gave - I will go from there - Thank you
Ok, I do not have access to the server Shell as it is a reseller hosting account.
So I will need to use phpmyadmin... Any thoughts on that?
