I currently running the Quickstart environment on an Ubuntu setup. Wondering if there is recommended way to migrate a site to the web besides what I believe will work from prior drupal experience.

1) Turn off clean urls
2)Copy all my drupal files onto the web server via FTP
3) Export the database on my local machine then import it onto my web server using either Backup&migrate module or manually with php myadmin

Thank you in advance for any help!

By the way, Michael, if you are out there... THANK YOU SO MUCH for developing this platform. It has been a huge timesaver over the WAMP setup.

From what I understand of the Backup and Migrate module that should work. (I'm in the same boat, only I'm not ready to move my site up to my web host yet.)

Not sure why you have to disable clean URLs though. Could someone elaborate on that?
