Question

How do I transfer a dreamweaver site + database to another PC.

I am developing  a web-site for a university project and need to submit t to them on a CD/DVD so they can run it and examine the code.

The web-site is running localhost on my own PC.

My question is which files do I need to put on the CD for the university to run it?

I am using XAMMP to provide Apache and MySQL and a Dreamweaver environment consisting of PHP files.

I presume I need.

  • a copy of XAMPP so that it can be installed on another PC.
  • the PHP files so that the web-site can be run and the tutors can examine my coding

I've already worked out how to export my database so it can be imported into another system.

But what else do I need to do?

Where do the files need to be copied to on the destination PC?

I have Spry widgets included, do I need to include the spyy .js files?

Do they need a copy of dreamweaver?

Thanks

Adam

Note too that if your site is dynamic (uses a database), you will want to backup your MySQL data

base with something like phpMyAdmin or using MySQL or one of their GUI tools. You'll

need to then restore the database backup on the other site.

Hi

You have answered most of your questions here -

I presume I need.

  • a copy of XAMPP so that it can be installed on another PC.
  • the PHP files so that the web-site can be run and the tutors can examine my coding

Where do the files need to be copied to on the destination PC?

I have Spry widgets included, do I need to include the spyy .js files?

The files must be copied to the servers root web folder, (xamp), once this is installed, and all files required for the site must be on the cd/dvd. This includes all javascript files and any images.
