How can I update a live website with local modifications? - Joomla! Forum - community, help and support

-

i'm new joomla (version 2.5) , know how i'm going update site i'm developing on local server when upload live server? once goes live i'll have user accounts i'll need worry about. won't able overwrite database. must future updates done on live server or can make local changes , upload them once they're complete? appreciated.

i dont know kind of updates doing, if updating files wont have worry database changes (usually)

for example:
you want update joomla latest version in local environment instead of live site
1. read change log , make there no database changes in update
2. update copy on local server
3. if goes well, update files on live server

if making massive changes on local server, before update live server, make backup of user tables. (you should backing often) can import users database needed. or can try this:

there interesting article in magazine syncing files between local computers:
http://magazine.joomla.org/issues/issue ... -your-macs

its not asking should give idea of scope of work required.


personally, make of small code changes on live server. backup first, make changes , revert if went wrong. akeeba backup makes super simple:
