You'll want to aid in (if not do completely) the migration to the live server. The last thing you want to do is let your client try and setup the thing.

I'd say that 'normal' is for you to install all content, scripts, etc. on the web host provided for the customer, and create/install all database tables/scripts/database content.

 

It's going to be your responsibility to get it all working on the production server. I hope you checked first about php versions and MySQL versions on the production server being at least equivalent to what's on your test server and that both are similarly configured.

 

Whether that applies in your case, and when you get paid during that process, is entirely a matter of the contract that exists between you and your customer.
