Hello Sylvia
before trying to use EZ on your server make sure that your server fulfills the requirements (especially with regards to the PHP version). Here is a list of the requirements:
http://ez.no/products/ez_publish/info/requirements_for_ez_publish
If you are unsure, ask your provider. EZ fortunately has only few location/server specific settings which you have to adapt - I just hope I don't forgot any... And remember to make a backup before you change anything.
In the site.ini.append.php:
- Check for the block regarding the database settings. Change the data here to the data of your online server (usually servername, databasename, user and password)
- In the block sitesettings change the setting for siteurl to the new url
- If you use hostmatching you need to change the settings for that as well
- You might also need to change some emails in the block mailsettings. Do this for all your site accesses (usually one for the user site and one for the admin site and maybe one override) In the settings/override/image.ini.append.php adapt the path and name of the imagemagick executable (if you use it at all). If you later get problems with images not being displayed you have most likely the wrong path in this file. Delete the content of the cache folders of EZ (if you don't, you will upload lots of unnecessary files and some things will not work in the new location until you have cleared the cache there). The relevant folders are var/cache and var/<siteaccess>/cache. Be careful what you are doing here (and make a backup of the entire var directory beforehand...) and really delete only the content of the cache folders, nothing else. Use phpmyadmin or something similar to make a backup of your local database. Then import this backup to the database on your server (using the database management tool your provider gives you, most likely phpmyadmin again) Upload your entire EZ folder to the server using ftp. Make sure that the folders var and settings and their subfolders and files are writeable by php - on some server setups you might have to change the permissions to the full 777 to do that. Call up the index.php of your now online EZ installation. This might take a bit as all the caches have to be recreated. That should be it... Greetings from Luxembourg Claudia
