How to deploy my site on another server...

[theprowler]

Hi all,
i've got this "little" problem about deploying my site (and all his subsites) on another server.

My site is composed by a lot of subsites, document libraries, custom web parts and has been created using a site definition. I've also included a lot of templates for creating subsites

Now that work is done i have to deploy this entire site on production server. The problem is that i cannot export my database and re-import that on production server because on that server are running other sharepoint based sites.

My question is: is there a way to export in some way my entire site and import that on the other server?

That will obviously prevent me to re-create everything on the other server...

Thanks in advance for your help

not if you have the other sites runing under

http://localhost

directly instead of

http://localhost/org

site.

So i dont know if this works but you could try to move the original site from

http://localhost

to

http://localhost/org

using the stsadm tool and them placing you new site in

http://localhost/new.

Alternatively you could create a different virtual webserver (aka Website in IIS), you get a differt port nr for that site tho..

I got it Chaser, i've used smigrate.exe tool. Using that tool i'm now able to "export" my entire site in a .fwp file and then re-import that file on another server.
Of course on the destination server i had to install my own site definitions and custom web parts.

Thanks for your reply!
