Week 6 learning goals
- Migrating from a development server to a hosting company
- The REST protocol
Monday
In order to migrate you will have to:
- copy all the WordPress files using an FTP or SFTP client or a WebClient (depending on the hosting company)
- dump the whole database to a *.zip file
- Create a copy of the
wp-config.phpfile and edit some settings
On the new host
- Create a new database
- Write down its full name, database user name, database user password, machine name
- Edit config.php, the replace your original wp-config.php file by this new version
Example taken from 000webhost.com:
as you can see the hosting organization may force you to adopt some prefix, i.e. the a3966289 would represent your user id.
define('DB_NAME', 'a3966289_w');
/** MySQL database username */
define('DB_USER', 'a3966289_user');
/** MySQL database password */
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'XXXXXXXX');
/** MySQL hostname */
define('DB_HOST', 'mysql5.000webhost.com');
