This page describes the installation of Wordpress under Debian 7 (Wheezy), in an lxc container.

 

Import a site from another machine

The shell script below assumes many things:

So: YMMV (do not forget to use your brain).

SITE_NAME=my.site.org  ## Put the complete name (should match a valid, public DNS entry)
DB_NAME=$(hostname)  ## Please correct if the DB name does not match the host name
OLD_MACHINE=176.9.96.186  ## The name or IP of the machine to import the existing site from (default: the public IP address of CT108, aka WebPanel/ISPManager)
OLD_WP_CONTENT_DIR=/var/www/${DB_NAME}/data/www/${SITE_NAME}/wp-content  ## The directory of wp-content on the old machine (default: webpanel standard location)
NEW_WP_CONTENT_DIR=/var/lib/wordpress/wp-content  ## The directory of wp-content on the new installation, do not change unless you know what you are doing
apt-get install wordpress nginx mysql-server php5-fpm pwgen
DB_USER_PASSWORD=$(pwgen 8 1)  ## Generate a random password
