Move one site from local multisite install to live server issues

  • I run a local multisite install of WP on my Linux computers for development purposes and am having trouble figureing out how to move one site at a time off the multisite to a live server. In most cases I handle the hosting for my clients on one of several VPS I have. I am very comfortable with MySQL, PHP, and WordPress in general but only recently (2 months ago) set up the local multisite install to develop locally instead of developing on the live server. Any advice, or tutorials technical or otherwise to help me accomplish this would be much appreciated. I looked through the forums and didn’t find what I need, if it’s there and I overlooked it apologies. Please help me out folks. I need to get this squared away asap. THe specs on my local install:

    Linux Mint OS
    Apache 2.22
    MySql 5.2
    PHP 5.3

    I have 8 sites in dev locally and some need to go live. Thanks.

    Generally you export the content, and do the install on the live server manually. Then import.

    The other way is to create the live site on the live server.

    Then export the database tables for that site, and import them to the new server (renaming them to wp_ instead of wp_#_

    Finally you’d export the user and usermeta info for all authors on that site from the Multisite DB to the new one.

    Oh ahd you have to copy the images up and figure out how to move then from /blogs.dir/#/files/ to /uploads/ :/

    Got it. So basically manual, piece by piece, I can handle that.

    Do I need to mess with the WP Domain Mapping Plugin?

    Also, is there any way I can use any of the transfer plugins like Move WordPress or Duplicator?

    Thanks again, and thanks in advance for your help.

    I have heard that BackupBuddy can actually do this.
