Hi,ne Thank you for your quick reply :) Actually, I am a little concerned that I may have a lot of work ahead of me!
I have an existing php based website that is used to advertise holiday accommodation, and the pages that contain advert listings are dynamically recreated every 24 hours. I needed to implement a search feature, and this seemed much easier to write in python than php, so on a new server I created a django project, and basically all this contains is the modified home page of the existing website with the search that generates a list of results. Now I need to move across the rest of the website to the new server, and I need to do this with minimal effort. I also need to preserve the existing page URLs. It maybe the case that there are no real shortcuts, but I just didn't want to make unnecessary work for myself! If anyone has some tips, please let me know.
