Can we take a copy of our installation of AlegroCart and duplicate it on another domain?
I ask this because we have overseas distributors who want their own shop on their own domain and duplicating our installation would be so much easier for them than installing from scratch.
Can an AlegroCart installation be copied to another Domain?
Re: Can an AlegroCart installation be copied to another Doma
Yes, you can do that.
You would just make a backup of your own store database.
I would then create a new store on a locate server, probably a pc running XAMPP to sterilize the data.
You would then use the restore to copy the data from your original data base to this new test store.
You should now have an exact duplicate of your real store.
Now you can remove all the data that is sensitive that pertains to your real store.
After you are statisfied, you then save another database image that you can supply to your customers.
This is the easiest way to do this process.
The other method is to do a database dump from PhpMyAdmin and then weed through the tables to only include what you like, but this is more time consuming and more prone to human error.

Once again, thank you Brent.
