script transferring from local to distant

[raffaes]

Hi Jason
Maybe you can help me?
I read your article on your blog about moving website and i am stuck on the updated #2 step – sql. Do you run the script before tranferring the site while still on local or after it is uploaded to distant host.
thanks for your time in advance

You’re talking about when you run this script? http://interconnectit.com/124/search-and-replace-for-wordpress-databases/

After you’ve transferred your site, and imported your SQL file into your new database, you’ll notice that initially your WordPress site does not work right because the site URL is messed up.

So, before you do anything further with your new site, you upload the PHP file linked to above to your new site in the main directory where you have all of your WordPress files. Then, in your web browser, navigate directly to the PHP file and run it, and after you’re done, delete the script’s PHP file from your server.
