More than a tutorial, this is a confirmation that move a site made with Joomla 1.5, the latest version of this popular CMS (Content Management System), it is quite easy and fast.

I am informed and I made the transfer of the site of one of my clients, now explain to you the steps to do.

Obviously this is a mini-tutorial ... if you do not know technically what is Joomla, phpMyAdmin, or you have not created a MySQL database .... Well, then you are not in right for you!

Transfer Joomla 1.5

1. Make a backup of the site

if you can zip (from the domain control panel or via ssh) before doing the download is better, you'll avoid the bother of downloading thousands of small files via ftp.

2. Make a backup of MySQL database

Use your phpmyadmin panel, the classic format. Sql is the right one. Here, too, if you put a lot less zipped download.

3. Turn on the new web space and create a new MySQL database

Of course, write down the database name, user and password that will be used to configure joomla.

4. Before proceeding with the upload, make small changes to the configuration.php file

This is the only part to modify Joomla to run, here is what to change:

(Version 1.5)

<Php
{class JConfig
var $ offline = '0 ';
var $ editor = 'tinymce';
var $ list_limit = '20 ';
HelpURL $ var = 'http://help.joomla.org';
var $ debug = '0 ';
debug_lang $ var = '0 ';
var $ sef = '0 ';
sef_rewrite $ var = '0 ';
sef_suffix $ var = '0 ';
var $ feed_limit = '10 ';
var $ secret = Jdh9sosmOOw8sO '5 ';
var $ gzip = '0 ';
var = $ error_reporting '-1';
xmlrpc_server $ var = '0 ';
var $ log_path = '/ home / sitename / public_html / logs'; * enter the site location
var $ tmp_path = '/ home / sitename / public_html / tmp', * enter the site location
var $ live_site = ";
var $ offset = '0 ';
var $ caching = '0 ';
var $ cachetime = '15 ';
var $ cache_handler = 'file';
var $ memcache_settings = array ();
ftp_enable $ var = '0 ';
var = $ ftp_host '127 .0.0.1 ';
var $ ftp_port = '21 ';
var = $ ftp_user ";
var = $ ftp_pass ";
var = $ ftp_root ";
var $ dbtype = 'mysql';
var $ host = 'localhost';
var $ user = 'username', * insert the name of the MySQL
var $ db = 'database_name'; * insert the name of the MySQL database
dbprefix $ var = 'jos_';
var $ mailer = 'mail';
mailfrom $ var = 'mail@nomesito.com' * may enter or edit the e-mail site
fromname $ var = 'nomesito.com' * to enter the domain, in the case of sub-domains enter the complete url eg. "Subdomain. Nomesito.com"
var $ sendmail = '/ usr / sbin / sendmail';
smtpauth $ var = '0 ';
var = $ smtpuser ";
var = $ smtppass ";
var $ SMTPHost = 'localhost';
MetaAuthor $ var = '1 ';
MetaTitle $ var = '1 ';
var $ lifetime = '15000 ';
var $ session_handler = 'database';
var $ password = 'DB_PASSWORD' * insert the MySQL user's password
var $ sitename = 'site name' * may enter or change the name of the site
MetaDesc $ var = 'site description' * may enter or change the description of the site
}
?>

In bold you want to change the standard variables, the rest can be left unchanged.

5. Please upload site files and load up the old database to the new

Better if all zipped, unzip by using the domain control panel. If not, via ftp. In phpmyadmin you can import the file. Sql (or the zip).

6. Change the permissions of files and folders

In this regard I have long sought in the Joomla forum and others finding no list of files or folders to change the permissions of read, write and execute. All files and folders are set to 0755, make sure it's well and should go well.

To be sure I checked my other installations of Joomla 1.5 and the only file to change the board is:

configuration.php>> 0444

That's all, if you have other things to add or suggestions to make, write them down here!
