Your question isn’t very clear. If you have created your site on your local machine, incl posts, pages, plugins, general settings and you want to recreate it completely as it stands then yes you need to take a mysql_dump of the DB via something like phpMyAdmin, to upload to your production DB but you’ll need to hack some fields in the DB for things like site url, simpler perhaps is to start afresh with a new DB then start re-configuring basic settings and use the WP xml import/export facility to transfer any posts/pages/comments you have locally that you want live.
thnx for the reply so basically @hnla u r saying i need to do fresh installation of wp and bp and i have to install all the plugins on the server and then i have to edit it as per my needs.. yes right or not ?
@hnla ppl says me u hav to upload ur .sql files to server bt in my wordpress folder i dont have any .sql files so that i was asking you how to import my .sql files frm sql server ….
Yes essentialy. I would do a fresh install regardless, get WP set up configure it, ensure permalinks are working correctly, and emails being sent, when WP is set up and working correctly upload the BP plugin, activate that check it functions correctly, then select your theme from the dashboard appearence>themes and activate that and check it’s correct after all that install your other plugins. You could still at any point after installing WP import you local DB and overwrite the existing one and have all your pre-set options re-created but you will need to edit the site url -probably!
@hnla ya thats from localhost to http://www.mysite.com …in the wp-config and bp-config …right ?
