Ha-ha. I don't see how this can be done in a few minutes. Thank you
for your response, however. You are very helpful and I always save your
comments.

I am sorry, but I don't understand what you are suggesting.

I don't have database backup issue. Copying database between the live
and the staging within the live server is pretty easy. I do this all
the time.

I thought rsync also look at the time stamp, no? I have got ChronoSync
which is a pretty good application, but turns useless when time stamp is
messed up.

The problems is I don't know how I stabbed myself.

Do you mean uploading tar file? Do I not loose the "Site-Offline" page
as soon as I expand the directory to overwrite the live directory until
I manually rewrite the settings.php?
By the way, there is one inc file I modified but I can't remember which
one. Without proper time stamp, this is bad. I was wondering if anyone
knows a good def GUI app runs on OSX10.4. I actually don't know a
proper keyword to google this.
