Question

Hi,

I have a website in joomla and its all working fine. We have contents and plugins and some modules installed in it.

But now we want use this joomla site for another domain. So baiscally we want to move it to other domain and use the existing Plugins and Modules but NOT to use the articles/contents. Because we will be using it some other thing.

Is that possible to do it and Please explain how.

Thanks

Answer 1

Just copy everything across (files and database) and change your configuration.php to have the new domain name and different db information, then remove the articles and content in the administration.

Answer 2

Are you sure that you have edited the correct .htaccess file. I had a lot of trouble with Joomla SEF only to discover after a lot of wasted time that I was editing an .htaccess file in the wrong location. Apache installations differe a lot as to how they organise configuation files. The rewrite could well be working for Apache but turned off for the subdirectory corresponding to one of the sites.

Answer 3

After you copy and clear it out do another mysqldump and save it. That will then become your SQL for your next site, and the next, and the next.
