Hi, Paul:
I've already set up a WSN Guest which is up and running! However, I would like to learn better of how to BACKUP the mySql database before I launch the site!
I admit that I am still very new to PHP, though!
Given that there is a website http://www.myfirstwebsite.com/wsnguest/ where my guestbook has been running couple of months and one day it has to be moved to a new site with different domain name, say http://www.mysecondwebsite.com/gbook/
Here are the questions:
1.
Can all the database in http://www.myfirstwebsite.com/wsnguest/ be successfully transferred to http://www.mysecondwebsite.com/gbook/
without fail? even if they have got totally different domains or paths?
2.
As I noticed that in setting up a wsn guest in database, you need to set up a DATABASE with an ID, as well as a USER-ID already set up to handle the database well. Do I need to set up absolutely identical database-IDs and username-IDs in between the two web locations/domains? so that the variables in database wont be messed up or whatsoever? - I mean, if I set up the database in www.myfirstwebsite.com with DB-id= guestbook, user-id= webmaster, do I have to set up absolutely the same IDs (i.e. DB-id= guestbook, user-id= webmaster) in www.mysecondwebsite.com ???
That's what I've been thinking of! I look forward to hearing from you, thanks very much for the kind help! |
