On MOST setups, you might have: /yourhomedirectory /httpd_docs_or_something_like_that /index.php /page2.php /includes /globals.inc /connect.inc /sql So, pretty much, you'd do something like: tar -cvf my_site.tar http_docs includes gzip my_site.tar And then you'd just install that wherever... Nothing peeves me more than some badly-conceived web-app with no way to move the include files out of the web-tree.
