1. Copy all files in “c:\xampp\htdocs\my_tasks\remote_site\cmro” to the remote site (or, a local site)
2. Create a new database at the remote site (Fatcow) using “phpMyAdmin”. Assign “database name”, “user name”, and “password”.

Databases > Create database

3. Import the original database file (xxx.sql) to the new database.

Databases > database to be imported > Import > Choose File > GO

Character set of the file: utf-8

Partial Import: checked

Format: SQL

Format-Specific Options:

SQL compatibility mode: NONE

Do not use AUTO_INCREMENT for zero values: checked

4. Modify “configuration.php” at the root directory by entering correct “database name”, “user name”, and “password”.

$sitename = ‘sitename’

$host = ‘ ’; $host = ‘localhost’ (for local site)

$user = “ ’;

$password = ‘ ‘;

$bd = ‘debase name’; (debase name)

5. Upload the modified “configuration.php” file to the remote site
