    Default Migrating Drupal site to Bluehost

    How would I get my existing Drupal site to Bluehost?

    It's on Drupal Gardens right now. I did make a backup from its "export site" feature.

    Come on, guys. It's not like I am asking how to leave and take my site with me. I am asking how to put my site on Bluehost. I am spinning my wheels. Please, help.

    This appears to be a good place to get you started. From the Drupal Gardens web site.

    It's not that hard. I moved a drupal site a while back. You need to ftp all files to the new server. Then create a database in phpmyadmin. Now import the old database. Then check your file settings.php and give the correct path to the database. After changes, chmod to 444. You will also have to assign a user to the database in the cpanel.

    Remember that your database name will be your account name and the database name with an underscore like this:
    myname_mydatabase
    and the same for the user name.
