Not so much a problem, as a general question.

I just moved my EE installation from my local server (MAMP) to my remote server. I followed the instructions, export db, import db, copy files, change config.php, change paths, change urls in gen. config/template location/file upload prefs.

One thing I saw in the instructions on the wiki (that I didn’t do) was to do a find and replace in the .sql file that I exported and change the instances of my local url: localhost:8888 to the url of my domain. I did do the migration and everything seems to be working fine, but just to check, I did an export of the db from the remote server and found a few places that reference localhost.

My question is… Will that be a problem?

Thanks!

Brad,

was to do a find and replace in the .sql file

Not something to undertake unless you really knew what you are doing. A lot of the paths are kept in serialized arrays which will break if a find and replace is undertaken for a URL like that.

I would say you have a few paths left in your control panel to zap.

I find the main culprit for these to be in the Path Settings for each individual weblog

CP Home ›  Admin ›  Weblog Administration ›  Weblog Management ›  Edit Weblog Preferences

Also try the File Upload Preferences

CP Home ›  Admin ›  Weblog Administration ›  File Upload Preferences

Hi John,

I did change the paths in File Upload Preferences, but completely missed the path settings for the weblogs I created. Thanks for the tip!
