Moving install from staging to production

[north]

Greetings,

I have EasyPHPCalendar installed on my site as a "staging area". Now I want to move the calendar to the production website which is on a different hosting company and different domain.

Both myself and my customer (where the production website will be) have separate licenses for EasyPHPCalendar. My customer has entered lots of events into the staging area calendar and I want to preserve these (as well as the calendar settings) when installing onto the production server.

I am comfortable exporting and importing the MySQL database and copying the installation files to the production website, but I don't understand how EasyPHPCalendar will handle licensing. It needs to use my customer's license and work on their domain rather than mine. Please let me know how I can set this up while preserving all of the entered events and calendar settings.

Thanks,

NorthK

The best way to migrate an install is to do a new setup on the permanent host, then restore any calendar files that you've modified (theme, template, etc), and restore the config.inc.php, and the database. (Normally, you'd also restore license.php, but in this case you won't be using the same license.) After you've done that, make sure that calendar.php is writable and log on to the Setup Manager. That will fix your paths automatically. All that's left is to go to the License section, and use the client's information to get their license applied.

That should be all.
