Hi everyone, I was asking how I could transfer a Magento Shop from my testserver to my Liveserver without losing the order and customer data from my live-system.
Problem is that I installed various extensions, upgraded magento to 1.4.1 and also changed many files. If replace the database of the live-system with the one from my test-system, I will lose all my order and customer data, which has been created during development time on my testserver.
What is the best way to do a frequent transfer of a testserver version to the live-server? I just found some solutions for transfering Order and Customer data from one Magento DB to another. But this will be very expensiv if I use this for each transfer: - http://www.shopping-cart-migration.com/ - http:// www. commerceextensions.com/magento-dataflow-batch-import-export-orders-to-csv.html
The first solution I tested and I think it is working good. It's based on a Webservice and Business Modell is OnDemand so it will be too expensive in the long run...
Any other proposals how to solve this problem? I already asked in several other communities, but seems to be a dificult question...
Cheers, Sebastian
