Is it possible to deploy an already created Drupal site?

Question

I am new to Drupal. Can I configure everything and deploy Drupal on the server? I mean things like inserting content, setting up modules, etc .... and then putting everything on a production server?

Answer 1

Ofcourse.

• copy all files
• change database credentials (sites / default / settings.php)
• export database contents via mysqldump or phpMyAdmin (suppose you're using MySQL)
• import the contents of the database on the target server

I have done this several times.
