I have a php script ona website, i want to clone it for a different website and have all the settings saved, so if i copy the Mysql database and the files to a different website/server with a different urr. Is it possible or will there be too many modifications to do later?
Ok! How many tables you have in your database, just browse through them and see anywhere your old site name is existing just replace it. Got any problem then pm me.
for php script, just compress it to zip file, and then extract at new server. for mysql database, just dump it at current server, and compress it, and then unzip it to new server and load it to new database.
You should search the database with a query or some kind of db manager for partial matches of the current url. One example of a site this needs to be done for is vbulletin because of the cookies and sessions it uses.
