Migrating from test website to live website

[hendrikdebeer]

Good day

How do I copy or migrate the entire dummy website to another website (two different domains)

Our client is finally happy and need to do a transfer now.

VirtueMart 3.4.2
Joomla 3.8.12

Use akeeba backup and transfer the whole site at once, some small tweaks may be necessary, but usually this goes very well.

Thanks guys

I'll have to find another way - Just too expensive at this stage to use akeeba.

The client will only pay after the website is done and functional.

I have gone over my spending budget for this client a while back already.

Use the free akeeba program!!  It is called Akeeba Backup Core on the website. Direct link for current version is   https://www.akeebabackup.com/download/akeeba-backup/6-4-0/pkg_akeeba-6-4-0-core-zip.zip

You will also have to download Kickstart which is the unpacker/installer for the backup archive. That is also free...   https://www.akeebabackup.com/products/akeeba-kickstart.html
