After a bunch of reading I've found one other thread with my problem but it remains unresolved. Perhaps the community can help bring some closure to this issue.
I currently have an account with Sonic for hosting. I had this account started by a client of mine and my goal was to be able to draft a design of his site for him. I did not want to do this on his primary domain, I wanted him to be able to see the design (remotely), approve it, and at that point I would move the site to his desired domain.
That said, I noticed when I went to use Sonic's one button install it gave me the option to install wordpress on a different domain within the same server, we will call it the "test domain".
Primary domain: http://trueformdesign.com
Test domain: http://tfmfg222.users.sonic.net
So I've got the go ahead from my client to move the content to the Primary domain. I've backed up the FTP files on the Test domain, I installed (and backed up) the default WP files on the Primary domain. Now what?
More specifically my problem here is that Sonic does not have access to the SQL database that is automatically generated when WP is installed through their add on. So you see I cannot back up files I don't have access to, and making a new database is not an option because I'm already several hours in on my design. I need to make sure that the Test domain database is the database that is used when I move the FTP files to the Primary domain.
Any assistance or input would be greatly appreciated.
