Moving to hostmonster with scp
As I said in previous post about general steps taken to move wordpress blog to new host. Finally I have chance to demonstrate it.
Objective :
I have VDS account and need to move one of my blog for lowering cpu usage of my account. I decide to move one of my blog at http://www.knockdownhouse to new hosting place.
Requirement :
1. Shell acess enabled in both side, hosting account and destination account. In this case I use hostmonster.
2. Access to dns for modification ns entries.
Steps :
Compress blog and backup database in my VDS account.
1. Login to my server using putty.
2. The format for login I use is :
username@ip address, this way I can save my steps. I just need to enter password of my VDS.
Click Open to start login.
3. Enter password :
Just type the password, the screen won’t echo what you type.
Press Enter when your done.
4. If you type right password you’ll see $ prompt.

[h3xxx173@bursalowongankerja /]$
5. Type ‘ls’ in $ prompt to list all files.
[h3xxxx73@bursalowongankerja /]$ ls
bin dev etc ftp home include lib opt proc sbin tmp usr var www
My files located /var/www/html, go to that folder using cd command
[h3w27173@bursalowongankerja /]$ cd /var/www/html/
[h3w27173@bursalowongankerja html]$ ls

manager wp-atom.php wp-login.php
manager.html wp-blog-header.php wp-mail.php
www.knockdownhouse.com located in knockdown directory.
6. Go to knockdown directory and backup database.
[h3w27173@bursalowongankerja html]$ cd knockdown/
[h3xxxx73@bursalowongankerja knockdown]$ nano wp-config.php
nano wp-config.php is command to see database name, db username dan password.
backup database using this command :
[h3xxxx73@bursalowongankerja knockdown]$ mysqldump -uusername -p databasename > filebackupname.sql
[h3xxxx73@bursalowongankerja knockdown]$ mysqldump -uhxxxx173 -p knockdown > knockdown.sql
enter your database password to start backup.
7. Compress knockdown into single file.
[h3xxxx73@bursalowongankerja knockdown]$ cd ..
[h3xxxx73@bursalowongankerja html]$ tar -cvsf knockdown.tar.gz knockdown
8. Send knockdown.tar.gz to my hostmoster account.
[h3xxxx73@bursalowongankerja html]$ scp knockdown.tar.gz oneone5@101info.net:/h ome/oneone5
The authenticity of host ’101info.net (74.220.215.239)’ can’t be established.
RSA key fingerprint is 75:fd:40:aa:b7:56:xx:11:yy:6b:b5:zz:2c:b5:71:b6.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes
Warning: Permanently added ’101info.net,74.220.215.239′ (RSA) to the list of known hosts.
onezero5@101info.net’s password:
knockdown.tar.gz 100% 2179KB 544.9KB/s 00:04
[h3xxxx73@bursalowongankerja html]$
Done.
Blog successfully transfered to my account.
In next post I’ll continue migration process in hostmonster side
