Ear Drops #3

In this drop I talk through the steps required to move your Drupal site from one domain to another.

 

 

 The Steps

  1. Take your site offline.
  2. Download the entire site to a local directory.
  3. Export the site database to a local directory.
  4. Create a new MySQL database if necessary
  5. Edit sites/default/settings.php if moving to new database.
  6. Upload site files to new domain. Don't forget .htaccess.
  7. Login and test.
  8. Bring site back online.

Your comments and feedback are welcome.
