Issue 22 - Transferring DotNetNuke installations localhost/live, SQL Find and Replace

July 2007

Welcome to issue 22 of DNN Creative Magazine.

In this issue we demonstrate how to transfer a localhost DotNetNuke installation to a live website and vice versa.

This is an essential technique to learn for successfully working with DotNetNuke installations on a live hosted website and a localhost installation.

Following this we demonstrate how to use a find and replace SQL procedure to find and replace any content within the text / html module across an entire DotNetNuke installation. This is a very powerful technique for solving problems such as changing the URLs of images after transferring a DotNetNuke installation.
