   I am developing a wordpress blog for a client. I'm hosting the blog on my work server for the developmental stage. Once everything is finalized and I have the approval of the client, I would like to move the blog to the client's domain name and server.

   I'm envisioning problems with this, in particular, will this cause database issues?

   I don't believe it's as easy as moving the files from point A to point B. Will I have to redo the database installation?

   Is there a guide that wordpress that details this?
   Thank you.
   All input is appreciated.

   Depends really. Personally, I just export the XML from dev environment and import to WP install in client's server. Upload customized theme along with a couple or so plugins in new server. Arrange settings and options for plugins as needed and you're done in 30 minutes or so.
   In some cases, database export and import is required and I follow these instructions - http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress
