How to move a local (Wamp) WordPress site to a live server

[artblackwhite]

Hi thanks. I now work locally in Linux so setting up multiple WP sites was awkward (for me) but perfectly possible. With Wamp (under Windows), if memory serves, I just duplicated the folders, obviously taking care that wp-config points to the right database.

Thanks for the tutorial. Worked great for me. How would I go about working on multiple wordpress websites locally? I'm working on a WP website now but I'd like to start another site. Not sure how to go about doing this. Thanks

Sorry, i had created the subdirectory with capital letters /TEMP1/, and for the db wp_options i put /temp1/.

I think its solved

I followed every step you did, was successful the whole way through but cannot access wp-admin, i get the following:

The requested URL /temp1/wp-login.php was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Thankyou so much for this video, i followed another couple of tutorials and had little to no success.. i havent finished uploading my zip file yet, but im hoping that this process is as straight forward as what you show, i believe it will be. I will leave comment, once successful!

Looks like something bad happened when exporting the database, please repeat the export again. The procedure works, we do that all the time.

I followed the instructions to the T but when it came time to import the local database to cpanel...I kept getting an error: SQL query:

{ \ rtf1 \ ansi \ ansicpg1252 \ cocoartf949 \ cocoasubrtf540{ \ fonttbl \ f0 \ fswiss \ fcharset0 Helvetica;
