Duplicate a Drupal installation from one server to another

Question

I am developing a Drupal 6 site on my PC using XAMPP. I am done and everything looks strong.

The problem is that I need to host all the content (including custom modules and themes) on an intermediate server that has only fresh Drupal 6. I cannot imagine setting up all my own content types and much more on an intermediate server.

So, I ask: how to do what I need to do? This essentially duplicates my Drupal installation from my PC on the staging server.

Linux is running on the intermediate server, and I am developing on a Windows PC if that helps.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 4

backup_migrate. .

, :

• backup_migrate
• /default/settings.php, .
• import the last backup_migrate backup (usually using mysql <backupfilename.sql, if I don’t already have drupal settings and backup_migrate is not set, then I use the GUI

But look at the official version:

http://drupal.org/node/776864

Now you didn’t ask, but when the site lives, and users contribute their content, transferring future versions of your site from development / production to production without turning off live content is a completely different problem, and another Drupal does not have a good answer for ...
