What is the process for migrating TYPO3 from another web host to SiteGround?
Migrating TYPO3 from another web host to SiteGround involves the following steps:
- Sign up for a hosting account with SiteGround and choose a suitable plan.
- Install TYPO3 on your SiteGround hosting account using the Softaculous auto-installer or manually upload the TYPO3 files.
- Export your TYPO3 website database from your current web host. This can usually be done through phpMyAdmin or a similar database management tool provided by your current host.
- Create a new MySQL database on your SiteGround hosting account. Take note of the database name, username, and password.
- Import the exported database file into the new database using phpMyAdmin or a similar tool in your SiteGround hosting account.
- Once the database is imported, go to the folder where TYPO3 is installed on SiteGround. Look for the typo3conf directory and locate the LocalConfiguration.php file.
- Download the LocalConfiguration.php file and open it in a text editor.
- Find the database configuration sections in the file and update the database name, username, and password to match the new database you created on SiteGround.
- Save the changes and upload the modified LocalConfiguration.php file back to the typo3conf directory on SiteGround, replacing the existing file.
- Next, copy all the files from your current TYPO3 installation on your previous web host to the TYPO3 installation on SiteGround. This can be done using an FTP client or through the File Manager provided by SiteGround.
- Once all the files are copied, ensure that the file and directory permissions are set correctly. TYPO3 requires certain directories and files to have specific permissions for proper functioning. You can use the following command via SSH or use the File Manager on SiteGround to set the permissions recursively:
1
|
find . -type d -exec chmod 775 {} \; && find . -type f -exec chmod 664 {} \;
|
- After setting the permissions, access your TYPO3 installation on SiteGround through a web browser. TYPO3 should run seamlessly on your new hosting account.
It is recommended to backup your files and database before starting the migration process, as a precaution.
How to update TYPO3 to the latest version on SiteGround?

- Navigate to the "Websites" tab and select the website you want to update TYPO3 for.
- Under the "Site" section, click on the "File Manager" icon.

- Select all the files and folders in the TYPO3 root directory and click on the "Compress" button in the top menu to create a backup of your current TYPO3 installation. Save the backup file to a safe location on your computer.
- Once the backup is completed, go back to the root directory and select all the files and folders again. This time, click on the "Delete" button to remove the old TYPO3 installation files.

- Save the changes to the "index.php" file and close it.
- Finally, clear the TYPO3 system cache by accessing the TYPO3 backend and going to the "Maintenance" menu. Click on "Flush frontend caches" and "Flush all caches" to ensure the changes take effect.
