Hi, I've been testing Miva 5.5, along with a complete site redesign, on a "testsite" subdomain: drugtestsuccess.com/html/testsite/. Currently running Miva 4 live at the root domain: drugtestsuccess.com/html/. In the next few days, I'll be moving everything over to the root domain. Here's how I was planning on doing this:
1. In testsite html files, update all links to remove the "testsite/" subfolder. Do the same in Miva 5.5.
2. Backup everything.
3. Put Miva 4 and Miva 5.5 sites in Maintenance Mode. Batch and delete all orders and baskets.
4. Under the root directory: drugtestsuccess.com/html/ - Delete the Merchant2 folder. Also delete the html files for the current live Miva 4 site.
5. Move the mm5 folder from: drugtestsuccess.com/html/testsite/ to: drugtestsuccess.com/html/. Also move over the html files for the new redesigned site.
Is that it? Is it as simple as moving the files over? The main thing I'm concerned with is the gateway. I setup a new account with Innovative Gateway, which already has a module installed in Miva 5.5. I just need to configure it and test live transactions. But I'm wondering if I should wait until I move everything over before configuring the gateway and testing live transactions.
All product pages are on static pages. So no issues with search engines.
Anybody have anything to add?
Thanks!
