I think I might’ve figured it out…

Correct me if I’m wrong:
1) Open the file directory of the live site in cPanel, delete all the contents (make sure you have a back-up first)
2) upload the installer/archive files from my dev.example.com site
3) run the installer.php file and voilà?

I think that tutorial I mentioned above pretty much details that process right? I am beginning to see the importance of creating a separate DB before doing all the above first.

Sorry, I am new to WP, just started today.
