How to move localhost Aimeos onto Production Server

Hey Aimeos, I am working on a Mac with Laravel 5.5, PHP 7.1.12, and Aimeos 2017.10, because I ran into some glitches with the 2018 release one month back.

I would like to move my Aimeos project onto a live server. I've already done my database export with mysqldump and then I imported it without a problem onto my phpMyAdmin on my live server.

I was going to FTP my myshop/ over just to see how it all works, but it was a total of 52 000 files -- and that was excluding my vendor/ and node_modules/ . Should I be deleting any directories before moving over to production?

What's the best way to push my project to production? Maybe use terminal's scp (secure copy) or git?

Thanks

Hi!
I think you can pack it to .zip before uploading to the server. Then unpack it there. It will be much much faster. I'm always doing so

Best way is to use Git... there is a good document on this at: https://devmarketer.io/learn/deploy-lar ... ntu-nginx/
You might only need it from "Step 11: Install Git" onwards...

If you have shell access, use git and composer so you can update your installation to a new minor version at any time without hassle
