[Solved] My Own Default Install

[BlueLaw]

Hello All,

I am building a lot of CMSMS websites at the moment that are all virtually the same.

Every time I install CMMS I have to add the same modules, change the srftime, delete the default templates and add my own, add all the same news items and content. And all of my sites are roughly identical.

So I’m looking for a way to minimize this work.

Would MysqlDump help me to do this? So that I could create a sort of default install and then use it over and over?
Obviously I can add the modules I’m going to need into the Modules folder before I upload the system. But any thoughts?

Many thanks.

If you move/copy over the same files then do a DB backup then DB restore in new DB you have an exact mirror of site, same as moving to new server in wiki, I wouldn't use a module for this as you would have to install it then use module to do changes...

Thanks Mark!

I'll create my perfect "default" website, then download all the files onto my hard drive via ftp.

Go to my new webspace and copy the old database into that one, then simply upload the files.

Many thanks.
