Hi,

I am new to DotNetNuke and I'm about to create my first website with DNN and I would like to know how I would go about migrating to the production environment.

Am I correct in assuming that I would download the DNN files to my local machine and develop the website here and then copy the web files and database to the production server or do I download the DNN files to a development server and develop from there and then push everything to production?

Thanks

If you can, develop in production. If that's not an option, install DNN on your development server, create your site and then you can upload the files to the production server and restore the database. However, you'll have to change a record in the PortalAliases table from "localhost" to the name of your domain.
