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

There are different ways to make a local Wamp WordPress site go live, this is how we do it.

It creates a clone with no third party utilities and no messing with php databases etc. either.

(Notice at 3:10 when it says that you have to copy and paste the sql database in a txt file, because saving the database is not possible, that's a mistake, it was because "Save as a file" wasn't checked! Make sure to check "save as a file" and also, with large databases, check "gzipped" so the file will be smaller in case you have to upload it).

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

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!

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;

MySQL said:
