site setup

[Anon]

I'm a newbie.

I have php and mySQL with Apache setup locally on my PC. I'm doing some basic development and learning as I go. My next objective is to transfer a test website upto my ISP. However, my directories on my local PC are all over the place and, of course, security setup isn't an issue. Is there a standard dictory structure I could setup on my PC prior to FTPing up? How best can I manage the migration from local to ISP server to take account of different paths, directory security, etc? Is there a utility that can make this task easier?

Thanks in advance,

Clive

you only need to transfer the web pages which should be sitting in the root directory and the mySQL database. The ISP will have some kind of control panel that will allow you to enter the SQL statements to create and load data in the initial dataset up to the ISP's DB.

if you use phpMyAdmin to manage the DB, you can use it to do a dump of the DB and the SQL file that is created can be cut and pasted into the ISP's control panel.

The only utility you will need is some FTP program to handle the uploading of the web page files.
