I almost forgot to write this week also! Its been so busy couple of weeks and to be quite honest, this is not on my priority list with all due respect. But anyway, I'll give it a go (hopefully Dave hasn't finished reading them already)
This is THE week! On Tuesday, we are transferring the offline version of the website to the server!!! It is a huge pressure! The client is very very obsessed with the thought that the website MUST be up 24/7, so we can't afford any mistakes.
We decided to follow these procedures:
- Firstly, we'll backup the whole website that is on the server currently (mind you there is over 5 GB of data there!)
- We'll create a new directory on the website called 'Original Site' where we'll them move the current website. This also includes renaming the database
- The next step is to upload the new database and the file structure to the server
- Then we have to make sure everything works fine!
It sounds simple and easy but there is no simple and easy in IT ;).So many things can go wrong so we have to be prepared to tackle any potential issues...
