Hi Nagesh,

well from XAMPP side of view this is very easy:

• Take all of your sourcefiles from htdocs you want to bring live
• upload them to your live host
• export your local database
• reimport it on your live database
• change all the application configurations in the configuration files and/or the database so that all fits with your live server (database login, url, etc)

The last point is the critical one, but because this is a pure wordpress issue, we can't give you any support for this.

best wishes,
