Question Need Help: How to migrate an existing Wordpress application from one server to another

Hi All,

I have an application that is designed in Wordpress using MySQL as backend.

The application is residing on a Centos Server.

Now I want to migrate the application to another centos server. I have installed LAMP stack on the new server.

I want to install wordpress on it. Then I have to migrate the database and the application the server.

I came to know that I have to make changes in the database (links ) and all that.

What is the ideal approach for this?

Where should I install wordpress , I mean in which directory?

Any lead is highly appreciated.


Thanks.

You will install Wordpress into the web server (home) directory of your LAMP server:

https://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress

Google for "Wordpress 5 minute install"

As far as migrating is concerned this can be tricky. There's a free Wordpress web site backup/restore plugin called UpDraftPlus which will backup a live web site to remote storage. This plugin also has a migrate/clone function which they charge a nominal fee for (circa US$32/20GBP). For the trouble it saves I would recommend buying it.

Hope that helps.
