Move website from remote to local

From Lanius CMS Wiki

These are the correct steps to follow in order to move a website from remote (usually production environment) to local (usually debug environment), or vice versa.

  1. create a tarball backup with CMS sources (see Backup) and attach a database snapshot
  2. extract (you can use 7-zip, tar, or Veloce script) the tarball backup into a local Lanius CMS directory
  3. remove private/config.php from local directory
  4. start and complete Lanius CMS installation on the local host
  5. access administration backend and restore the database snapshot

Finished. You can repeat the procedure when moving the website from local to remote.

Tip: if you plan to move websites several times from local/remote, don't delete config.php at step 3 but rename it to config.template.php, this will save you some time during Reinstallation.
