HTTPS (or Hyper Text Transfer Protocol Secure) is the answer to the data protection issue. It used to be mostly used by eCommerce and banking related sites. HTTPS protects data by encrypting it before sending it either way by using an SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) Certificate.  Most websites still run on HTTP which is alright if there is not critical information being transferred such as login, password, bank details etc. But when details such as those mentioned are involved in the transfer, HTTP is not secure as there are ways and means by which bad guys can intercept and misuse. But even after applying HTTPS, browsers may block some contents because they are still being served over HTTP. In this post, we will check how to fix partially encrypted / mixed content errors after switching from HTTP to HTTPS.</div></div><a href="https://techubber.blogspot.com/2017/09/how-to-fix-partially-encrypted-mixed-content-after-switching-from-HTTP-to-HTTPS.html#more">Read more »</a>

And I needed to move the website files from one computer to another as I have a new Windows laptop on which I would be doing my web development activities from now on. So, I needed to move the existing website files from the older computer to the new computer, along with the database of the website. If you are in a similar situation, refer to the steps below how to move the websites from XAMPP on one computer to XAMPP on another computer.<br /><br /><br />XAMPP is a free and open source cross-platform web server solution stack package developed by Apache Friends, consisting mainly of the Apache HTTP Server, MariaDB database (supports MySQL) , and interpreters for scripts written in the PHP and Perl programming languages.<br /><br /><b>    X = Cross Platform / Any Operating System<br />    A = Apache Web Server<br />    M = MySQL / Maria DB<br />    P = PHP Programming Language<br />    P = Perl Programming Language</b><br />XAMPP is easy to install and packages all the above requirements of web development out of the box. There is minimal configuration required to kick start web development on local machine instead of installing all the above requirements manually. <br /><br /><br /><b><span style="font-size: large;">How to move websites from XAMPP on one computer to XAMPP on another computer?</span></b><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">Assumptions / Pre-Requisites:</span><br /><br />So, I have been using XAMPP for web development on my local computer. I use WordPress and Drupal mostly, but there are some custom PHP sites too. In this post, I will be using one of the WordPress CMS site for the purpose of illustration in this post. On my system, XAMPP is installed at C drive at C:/xampp. Thus, website files are located under C:\xampp\htdocs directory.<br /><br /><br />For the steps explained below, it is assumed that XAMPP is installed on both the computers already.<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size: x-large;">Steps to move websites from XAMPP on one computer to XAMPP on another computer. </span><br /><br />This method is not only for WordPress shown in this example. It can be used for any other CMS or sites. The basic process in a nutshell is to move the website folder to the new computer under the same folder, that is under C:\xampp\htdocs and move the database to the new computer<br /><br /><br /><b><span style="font-size: large;">1) Move website files from computer 1 to computer 2:</span></b><br /><br />    Copy the website folder you want to move from C:\xampp\htdocs\. For this example, the website folder to be copied is "techblog". Thus, I copied the folder C:\xampp\htdocs\techblog<br />    Move the website folder from the computer 1 to C:\xampp\htdocs\ on the computer 2 using any medium. For this example, the website folder copied is "techblog". So, we should have the website files in C:\xampp\htdocs\techblog. <br /><br />That is all that is required as far as moving the website files from one computer to another for using with XAMPP is concerned.<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><b>2) Export database of the website from computer 1</b></span><br /></span></div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-size: small;">    Open phpMyAdmin in a browser on computer 1 by accessing http://localhost/phpmyadmin</span></li><li><span style="font-size: small;">    Login to phpMyAdmin if a password is set for root</span></li><li><span style="font-size: small;">    Select the  database from the left sidebar of phpMyAdmin</span></li><li><span style="font-size: small;">    Click on STRUCTURE and check how many tables the database has.

In that case, upload size need to be changed in php.ini file on computer 2.<br /><br /><br /><blockquote class="tr_bq"><i>        Error: No data was received to import. Either no file name was submitted, or the file size exceeded the maximum size permitted by your PHP configuration </i></blockquote><br /><span style="font-size: large;">If you are unable to import database into phpMyAdmin due to the above error, you would need to edit some settings in php.ini configuration file at C:\xampp\php\php.ini.</span><br /><br /><br /><ul><li>    Open php.ini in a notepad, preferably Notepad++ and edit the values of the following parameters. I increased the following parameters to:</li></ul><br /><blockquote class="tr_bq"><i>        post_max_size = 50M<br />        upload_max_filesize =50M<br />        max_execution_time=200<br />        max_input_time=200</i></blockquote><br />Since it is a development environment, you can set it to any reasonable value. On live server, these parameters will usually be controlled by your web host service provider. and you may not have access to php.ini. <br /><br /><ul><li>    After changing the values of the above parameters, restart Apache from XAMPP control panel.</li></ul><ul><li>    Retry the import of SQL database into phpMyAdmin. It should be resolved now.</li></ul><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">How to prepare the SQL database file before import if the XAMPP on the previous computer was using another port for such as "localhost:8080" instead of the default "localhost"</span><br /><br />If on the previous computer 1, XAMPP was set to use "localhost:8080" instead of "localhost" to access web pages but on the new computer it is using the default "localhost" to access web pages, then the website on computer 2 will not work properly as the database has referenced to "http://localhost:port-number/websitename". Sometimes, people have multiple web servers on a single computer such as IIS and Apache from XAMPP. In that case, the default HTTP port 80 may already be used by the other web server. So, Apache is assigned another port to use.<br /><br /><br />We can edit the URLs containing the "localhost:8080" from phpMyAdmin with simple SQL querries but I find it easier to edit it using text editors by using simpler "find and replace" feature. We can find all reference of "localhost:8080" and replace them with "localhost" only. For this purpose <a href="https://notepad-plus-plus.org/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Notepad++</a> is good instead of Notepad.<br /><br /><ul><li>    Open the databasename.sql exported from the previous XAMPP in a Notepad or Notepad++</li><li>    Press CTRL+F and search for "localhost:8080". You should be able to see some results.</li><li>    Now replace all instances of "localhost:8080" with "localhost" by doing replace all.</li><li>    Save the edited SQL file or "Save As" with a new name</li><li>    Use this edited SQL file in the phpMyAdmin import (described above).</li></ul><br /><br /><span style="font-size: x-large;">Other related posts:</span><br /><br />    <a href="https://techubber.blogspot.com/2013/07/How-to-install-and-run-XAMPP-on-Windows.html">How to install and run XAMPP on Windows?</a><br />    <a href="https://techubber.blogspot.com/2016/06/how-to-migrate-site-from-local-server-to-live-server.html">How to migrate site from local development machine to live site?</a><br />    <a href="https://techubber.blogspot.com/2013/09/how-to-install-and-run-wordpress-on-windows-using-xampp.html">How to install and run WordPress using XAMPP on Windows?</a><br /></div></div>

Thus, I copied the folder C:\xampp\htdocs\techblog<br />    Move the website folder from the computer 1 to C:\xampp\htdocs\ on the computer 2 using any medium. For this example, the website folder copied is "techblog". So, we should have the website files in C:\xampp\htdocs\techblog. <br /><br />That is all that is required as far as moving the website files from one computer to another for using with XAMPP is concerned.<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><b>2) Export database of the website from computer 1</b></span><br /></span></div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-size: small;">    Open phpMyAdmin in a browser on computer 1 by accessing http://localhost/phpmyadmin</span></li><li><span style="font-size: small;">    Login to phpMyAdmin if a password is set for root</span></li><li><span style="font-size: small;">    Select the  database from the left sidebar of phpMyAdmin</span></li><li><span style="font-size: small;">    Click on STRUCTURE and check how many tables the database has.

Sometimes, people have multiple web servers on a single computer such as IIS and Apache from XAMPP. In that case, the default HTTP port 80 may already be used by the other web server. So, Apache is assigned another port to use.<br /><br /><br />We can edit the URLs containing the "localhost:8080" from phpMyAdmin with simple SQL querries but I find it easier to edit it using text editors by using simpler "find and replace" feature. We can find all reference of "localhost:8080" and replace them with "localhost" only. For this purpose <a href="https://notepad-plus-plus.org/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Notepad++</a> is good instead of Notepad.<br /><br /><ul><li>    Open the databasename.sql exported from the previous XAMPP in a Notepad or Notepad++</li><li>    Press CTRL+F and search for "localhost:8080". You should be able to see some results.</li><li>    Now replace all instances of "localhost:8080" with "localhost" by doing replace all.</li><li>    Save the edited SQL file or "Save As" with a new name</li><li>    Use this edited SQL file in the phpMyAdmin import (described above).</li></ul><br /><br /><span style="font-size: x-large;">Other related posts:</span><br /><br />    <a href="https://techubber.blogspot.com/2013/07/How-to-install-and-run-XAMPP-on-Windows.html">How to install and run XAMPP on Windows?</a><br />    <a href="https://techubber.blogspot.com/2016/06/how-to-migrate-site-from-local-server-to-live-server.html">How to migrate site from local development machine to live site?</a><br />    <a href="https://techubber.blogspot.com/2013/09/how-to-install-and-run-wordpress-on-windows-using-xampp.html">How to install and run WordPress using XAMPP on Windows?</a><br /></div></div> <div><p> Popular computers on Amazon </p><script type="text/javascript">amzn_assoc_ad_type ="responsive_search_widget"; amzn_assoc_tracking_id ="techubber-21"; amzn_assoc_marketplace ="amazon"; amzn_assoc_region ="IN"; amzn_assoc_placement =""; amzn_assoc_search_type = "search_widget";amzn_assoc_width ="auto"; amzn_assoc_height ="auto"; amzn_assoc_default_search_category =""; amzn_assoc_default_search_key ="computer";amzn_assoc_theme ="light"; amzn_assoc_bg_color ="FFFFFF"; </script><script src="//z-in.amazon-adsystem.com/widgets/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&Operation=GetScript&ID=OneJS&WS=1&Marketplace=IN"></script></div>
