I'm working on Joomla for some time. Mostly the sites are done on localhost, i.e., on local server, like on wamp, xampp, etc. Here's my experience of moving it to an online server.
I had a linux space on GoDaddy. But there is a website running already. So I decided to add a sub-domain, demo to it, and upload the site there. I also needed a mysql database, which I had one to spare, the local database needed to be imported into. Once it is done, and the configuration.php file at the root folder to be edited for the database login information, it should be working (this is what I gathered from the Google search). I did exactly that. But the site did not run. Why? After some tincuring, I found that, the database user name, as listed in phpMyAdmin in GoDaddy, is something like abc@72.52.63.101, but we need to use only the abc part. Fixed that, and voala! the site is running.
Sorry, not the full site. My excitement subsided as soon as I clicked a link. It's a 'Page not found' error. Page not found! I uploaded everything! I know it runs from database, but the database is truly replicated too. Then? What's the problem? Permission issue? I need to do some more web search.
