Moving Servers for multiple sites

    Hello,

    I’m trying to move a website from the server it was built on to my own that hosts a number of website. There are a number of guides I’ve found online but all seem to assume you are moving a website from a 1 website server to a server that will just host that website. My worry is that if I follow the instructions (backup SQL database from server 1 upload it to server 2) the database for the other websites I manage will be overwritten and lost.

    Can anyone give me advice on this or point me in the direction of a guide for this kind of thing?

    Thanks

    Hello Crypt0,

    I’m a newbie with multiple site, but if you look at mysql database, does it use a specific wp_site1 and wp_site2 on the table side?

    Because on the file side, I know it will work, the rest is really about database. If I remember last time I tried it was using like wp1.site and wp2.site for each site.

    Do you have the same if you look at phpmyadmin?

    Yea all the sites have wp_sitex

    The moving the files I’m not worried about its the database side of things I am.

    Well ok, if you have all ok backup files and db, then move the db, like you would do to fast replicate one wp from one server to another (changing the wp-config.php as usual).

    Should work i think,

    Ah and don’t forget to copy the htaccess root file, because it’s hidden, and a special rewrite rule for multisites.

    Does it sound like working?
