Question

Uploading a Magento install

I have spent a long time building a store with Magento on my local development PC.

1. You have to set the permissions to 755 to index.php and all folders.
2. Export magento database from localhost and import it in server MySQL.
3. Go to app/etc/local.xml . Change all attributes i.e. localhost, username, database name and password.
4. Open the file app/etc/local.xml.template . Change the respective attributes.

That's it. Hope it works for all. :)
