[wp-hackers] WordPress deployment/relocation steps

[Justin W Hall]

Hey Folks -

The following is what I do when I deploy/relocate a WP install. Was  
wondering if there is a faster or more efficient way to do it?

1) Backup www.olddomain.com
2) Download a copy of the WP install files
4) Export database via phpmyadmin
5) Open data base in text editor find and replace "olddomain" with  
"newdomain".
6) Upload wordpress files
7) Change wp-config file if it needs it.
8) Import database
9) Drink a beer while waiting for upload :)
