Deploy MAMP localhost to GCE

Hi,

I have an install of WordPress on a localhost MAMP server and I want to migrate it to GAE or GCE, I used this documentation and set up an instance but skipped over the MySql setup because I am already running a sever using MAMP.

Since I am running on MAMP I don’t have a app.yaml where my other files for my local install are located (inside htdocs). Aside from that, in my wp-admin created by my localhost there are a few lines of code that don’t appear in the downloadable wp-admin from the documentation linked above.

I’m not sure if I should change it or not. Considering I have to add my instance name where the your-instance text appears I can come to believe that I should replace the code in my original wp-admin with the code from the documentation.

However, changing this might lead my localhost version of my website to break leaving only the deployable version sound and working.

It’s really frustrating that there isn’t a more recent documentation, the differences in the updated GCE second generation instances also play a part in this whole role yet I am not well versed in their usage. After being frustrated I thought about going back and trying to do the MySql part but not understanding how to issue the commands didn’t help.

I don’t know how to get my MAMP WordPress install to the GCE.

My lack of knowledge might be my own demise but I would be stoked if anyone could lend an insightful hand.

Please help, thank you.
