uploading my site from local to web

I've just installed ezpublish on my webhosting account and it works fine, but now I need to upload my already-made site from my machine (XP with ezPublish 3.3-1) to the web (linux with ezPublish 3.3-2). Could someone tell me or give me some hint on how I can go about it?

There is no documentation on how to do this, although I believe a lot of ppl would be in the situation where they'd need to do this, especially if there is a devel server and a host server.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks,

Mihnea

Just a couple of hints:

1) You should upgrade your local site to the same version as you will be running on the server. If you don't, then you might experience some database incompatibility problems.

2) You should also consider upgrading both of your eZ publish installations to the latest version. There has been a lot of bugfixing lately; so - to get the most stable and reliable version, you should run the latest...

3) Freeze both sites (make sure there is no traffic og people logged in doing stuff).

4) Copy the database, the designs, your settings, var dir. contents. etc. from the local box to the server.

5) Cross your fingers and fire it up.
