Transfer from IIS to Apache Wordpress Hosting
So I need a new cell phone but need to justify spending an extra 5-6 bucks a month. What services are repetitive at the moment? An extra hosting account! I’ll just run it at home & save 7 bucks a month which will be sent over to my cell phone bill =P
So I spent my afternoon combining two godaddy accounts. A nice little adventure. The biggest issue was really just sitting down and focusing on what I was trying to accomplish.
1. Backup everything from both accounts
2. Setup Wordpress on new server
3. Backup database from original
4. Import database
5. Copy over uploads and themes into new server directories
6. Goto phpMyAdmin and edit the variables for the old URL to the new
7. The upload dir may have to be adjusted. Haven’t tested yet but will with this post.
Here’s the site with a quick-guide for backup & restore. Your own your own for editing the data within the database.
