Copying a site

Hey guys! I got one basic question i am a newbie so forgive me if the answer is too easy and didnt find it myself. I have a test domain lets say its test.com and i created a joomla site there. Now its finished and this joomla site needs to be migrated to its original domain lets say live.com. Both domain are inside virtualmin. So what i am asking if i can quickly clone test.com to live.com both exists as virtual servers inside virtualmin panel. Hope i was clear about my question. (English is not my native language)

Thanks a lot in advance!!

Howdy,

There are two ways to do that.

One, you could just rename your test domain.

You can rename it by going into Server Configuration -> Change Domain Name.

Or, you could clone it to a different domain by going into Server Configuration -> Clone Virtual Server.

I don't recommend the "rename" option. The reason is basically that Virtualmin does not rename the database (and "later" this will create a lot of confusion :-)
