Hi all, as i said before I am new to spip but am totally loving it, I already
spent a week in hell trying to install campsite, spip is great!
However I now have to move it from my testing server onto a live server, is this
easy to do? I couldnt find any articles about it on the site, will I have to
install it again on live or can I just upload everything including the
database??? Where can I change the settings I gave it on install
Cheers IA

I’ve done this once or twice by installing SPIP on the new host as normal and installing any plug-ins required. Then I upload the IMG directory and the templates and associated files along with mes_options.php and mes_fonctions.php, if required.
Then I take a back up of the testing server database (Configuration → Site Maintenance) and transfer the dump file (in tmp/dump/) from the testing server to the production server. This can now be restored using the same Configuration->Site Maintenance screen from the back end.
Do be aware though that some things seem not to transfer cleanly in this process. If you’re using the forms plug-in, for example, you’ll probably need to activate the plug-ins after restoring the database (perhaps a backup does not include plug-in tables). If so you might have better luck transferring the whole lot via FTP and phpMyAdmin then updating SPIP’s database settings in config/connect.php.

If you're on a UNIX machine then `rsync' and `mysqldump' are your
friends, e.g.:
[test_server] % rsync -avz --delete /path/to/spip/
production_server:/path/to/spip
and
[test_server] % mysqldump --password=***** --quick spip | gzip -9 >
/path/to/spip.sql.gz
and
[production_server] % mysql -u username -p spip < spip.sql
Best,
Richard

A last thing you have to do :
change the url of your website in the private area (in
ecrire/?exec=configuration)
It is used for redirections in the private area, so it can be usefull
