Thanks in advance

1. You can follow the tutorial, it is very easy! i do use FileZilla!
It will take you like 10 minutes by FTP, you could also zip-up all the files and upload them throug “godaddy file manager” ( less than a minute)!

2. No, just open up the file you just exported with notepad, and DO a find and replace! example: find “https://localhost:31057/” replace with “https://yourdomain.com/”

3. You can follow that tutorial, i think there is a step missing, after you create you database and user, you must to attach your user to your database and assign him all the privileges.

4. You clearly did not get me, have you ever edited wp-config.php?

Hi Diogo,

Pls advise on which file? I suppose there will be bundle of files to be exported to Godaddy website from my PC

$ grep define www/wordpress/wp-config.php | grep DB
define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘wordpress’);
define(‘DB_USER’, ‘root’);
define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘mysqlpassword’);
define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’);
define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’);
define(‘DB_COLLATE’, ”);

Whether make change on them as follows;
define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘wordpress’); #unchange
define(‘DB_USER’, ‘website_admin’);
define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘new_password’);
define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’); #any change here?
define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’); #any change here?
define(‘DB_COLLATE’, ”); #any change here?

Most the time on my PC I ran MySQL commands to configure MySQL. Thanks

Hi all,

Hi all,

This is my first time running FileZilla encountering difficulty to connect Godaddy’ server.

I’m trying to connect Godaddy’s server moving WordPress blog from my PC to their server without success.
Warning running Site Manager to connect Godaddy :
Response: 220———- Welcome to Pure-FTPd [privsep] [TLS] ———-
Response: 220-You are user number 53 of 500 allowed.
Response: 220-Local time is now 01:30. Server port: 21.
Response: 220-This is a private system – No anonymous login
Response: 220 You will be disconnected after 3 minutes of inactivity.
Command: USER admin
Response: 331 User admin OK. Password required
Command: PASS *************
Response: 530 Login authentication failed
Error: Critical error
Error: Could not connect to server

Please advice
1) Do I need install FileZilla on Godaddy’s server?
2) Which password shall I use? There are several passwords
I have 2 domains registered and hosted on Godaddy, say
aaa.com
bbb.com
both under same multi hosting plan

I’m now connecting bbb.com account
passwords available:-
– login Godaddy server
– login WordPress on Godaddy server
– logn MySQL on Godaddy server

Please advise. TIA

2. How do you think to export your database?? if you do it with phpmyadmin, it will output one single file!

4. Are you sure you dont have to change your database name, i think godaddy prefixes all you databases, but i am not sure!

@ Diogo,

I’ll make a test on my server here first making use of 2 VMs, both running Ubuntu 12.04 desktop 64 bit with WordPress 3.5.1 installed. The latter was download on WordPress website.

virtualizer Oracle VirtualBox

URL
VM-1 192.168.0.201
VM-2 192.168.0.202

WordPress are installed on;
VM-1
/home/satimis/www/wordpress
VM-2
/home/satimis/www/wordpress
respectively

Both VM are now running and WordPress can be login on browser with;
VM-1 192.168.0.201/wordpress/wp-admin/
VM-2 192.168.0.202/wordpress/wp-admin/

I’m now building a simple website on each of them. After completion I’ll move the website on VM-2 to VM-1 running following steps.

1)
On VM-1 rename all folders on ~/wordpress/ as *.old

2)
On VM-2 run;
$ rsync -a -r -v -e “ssh -l VM1-username” ~/path/to/wordpress/* 192.168.0.201:/home/satimis/www/wordpress/

copying all relevant folders from VM2 to VM-1

I’ll do the reconfiguration concerned either before move or afterwards.

3)
Regarding database table I’ll use “mydumper” (MySQL command. On older version known as mysqldumper) to do job.

If successful I’ll post the complete steps here. On Internet I found an article regarding upload mydumper to Godaddy and run it there.

Step 1) and 2) above are easy to sort out on Godaddy website.

Comment and suggestion are welcome. Thanks.
