Part 2:
As now, you have configured VPS, Now its time to move your old wordpress site to our new VPS(Which is already configured with LAMP). If you have not configured till yet, then it is my suggestion that you go back to my first tutorial
Configure VPS | Install LAMP on Centos VPS Part 1
So now lets begin the tutorial
As now, you know the basics on how to handle putty software and the ssh commands,
So lets start
First we will create the backup of the folder in your old server/hosting,
This is can be much easier through Cpanel, but if you don't have, then you have to enable the ssh by asking your hosting people.
Then connect to your old servers ssh and follow these steps
Code:
Now exit and connect to your new VPS, and follow these commands
Code:
In the first line we are giving the command to change the directory.
Second line, is used to download the compressed backup file from your old server.
REMEMBER:The URL and the back-up-file-name should be perfect, don't directly copy-paste mine
Third line is used to extract the backup
Till now we were successful to bring the wordpress to our new VPS, now we will bring the database of the wordpress.
The very first thing is to create the back-up of the wordpress mysql database, by logging into your old servers phpmyadmin, selecting the appropriate database and exporting that.
For this I ll suggest you to follow this link,
Backing up database
Now if you are ready with the mysql database backup, its time to bring it on our new VPS.
Code:
after extraction of database backup we will integrate it with phpmyadmin.
Before doing this, you have log in to new VPS php-my-admin window and create a new database, lets consider it as niraj
Sample of the code:
mysql -u user -p dbname < {path}/backup.sql
Actual Code:
Done,
You have successfully installed your old site to new VPS,
just after this you need to configure your wordpress wp-config file and add user to your php-my-admin for your database.
If any questions, feel free to ask

Code:
cd public_html/your_directory_of _your_website_folderRemember your_directory_of _your_website_folder should be your wordpress folder and foldername.tar foldername will be the wordpress folder name, and your backup will be created in the name of that folder.
tar -cvf foldername.tar
Now exit and connect to your new VPS, and follow these commands
Code:
cd /var/www/html
wget http://nirajmchauhan.blogspot/wordpress.tar

Wordpress-Publish new post redirecting to homepage | While saving edited code redirecting to home-page
This is a hectic bug for us, whenever a user tries to publish the post or save any code changes, it redirects to the homepage without publishing and saving the code,
This problem I also faced, many people recommends of redirection plugin fixes, but in many cases people are not using that, and then also they facing this kinds of problems.
The only solution to this writing a simple code in .htaccess file
<IfModule mod_security.c>SecFilterEngine OffSecFilterScanPOST Off</IfModule>
Just copy paste the above code and then done, you are free without any errors to publish post and save the codes without any home-page redirection.
This usually happens when on server, some changes are made on `mod_security` rule.
So next time if you face this problem, no worries, just follow this post
Configure VPS | Install LAMP on Centos VPS Part 1
Few days before when I had a VPS and needed to install wordpress, I found it very difficult because very few resources were available on google
So I am here now with my new post, On HOW TO INSTALL LAMP ON CENTOS
First buy an unmanaged VPS, and get ssh access
Then install Putty software in your computer, and start it
Then Follow the further steps
Start Putty software and then enter your IP for eg. 255.255.255.254
it will ask for username
generally its root and then enter the password
after that start typing the following code
IMPORTANT: IF YOU ARE NOT FAMILIAR WITH SSH COMMAND THEN BE CAREFUL. JUST COPY PASTE THE CODES.
First we will install yum
code:
yum install -y yum-priorities
After this we need to download updated repositories for php and mysql packages
code:
wget http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/i386/epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm
wget http://rpms.famillecollet.com/enterprise/remi-release-5.rpm
Then we will extract that by following command
code:
rpm -Uvh epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm
rpm -Uvh remi-release-5.rpm
After This we give priorities to repo and exclude php mysql and phpmyadmin from repository
code:
vi /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo
After this a file will be opened, press I from the keyboard to edit it, and after editing press esc button and type :x to save it
code:
priority=1exclude=*php* *mysql* *phpmyadmin*
Copy paste this above code five times before the following lines
#released updates#packages used/produced in the build but not released#additional packages that may be useful#additional packages that extend functionality of existing packagesCopy paste the next lines before this line #contrib - packages by Centos Users
Code:
priority=2exclude=*php* *mysql* *phpmyadmin*
Just one line above priority=2 their will be a line enabled=0 just make that to 1
After this press esc and type :x to save the file
Now same thing for epel and remi repository
code:
vi /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo
Just Above this line [epel-debuginfo] insert this code(inserting and saving is been explained on top)
Code:
priority=3
Now after saving that, we will now edit the same code with just different filename
Code:
vi /etc/yum.repos.d/remi.repo
And now in this, just above [remi-test] line, change the value of enable=0 to 1
and paste this code exactly above the [remi-test] line
Code:
priority=3
Save it and now we will install apache web server,
Code:
yum install -y httpd
After this we will install php,
Code:
yum install php
During the installation it will prompt you for importing GPG key for the new repositories, just type y and press enter, this will be come for two times
Now we will start the Apache server
Code:
/etc/init.d/httpd start
Just to test our Apache and php, we will create a phpinfo file
Code:
vi /var/www/html/info.php
A new file will be created, insert this code into it, and then save it
Code:
<?phpinfo();?>
Now in your browser, enter this URL, http://your IP or localhost/info.php
Now a PHP INFO file should open, where it will display php and servers information
if not then restart the apache server,
To restart the server,
Code:
/etc/init.d/httpd restart
Now we will install MySql
Code:
yum install -y mysql-server mysql php-mysql
Now the next code is used to configure Apache , to start MySql when server is rebooted.
Code:
chkconfig httpd onchkconfig mysqld on
Fire up MySql Server
Code:
/etc/init.d/mysqld start
Now we will set the root password of mysql
Code:
mysql -u root password password
Here the second password is the actual root password, you can change it with your's own.
Now its time to do last job, thats installing phpmyadmin
Code:
yum install -y phpmyadmin
Now we have to edit phpMyAdmin config file to avoid the Forbidden Access Error
Code:
vi /etc/httpd/conf.d/phpMyAdmin.conf
Search for a line,
deny from all
Comment the above line just by inserting # before the line, so after that, it should look like the following,
# deny from all
Save it and restart the Apache server
Code:
/etc/init.d/httpd restart
Done
Now goto the browser and type this URL
http://IP or localhost/phpmyadmin
Now the page will appear, just enter username as root and password as password

Many times, mostly when transferring wordpress site from one hosting to another, people find that when running their website, they find wordpress is displaying White Blank Screen
This is caused because of damaged files in Wordpress.
The following are the solutions for it:-
- Reinstall Wordpress
- Check wp-config file
- Deactivate All plugins
- Change the theme to default
- Reinstall the wordpress, just go to your file manager through FTP or cpanel and reinstall the wordpress manually by copy pasting files.
Remember Dont copy Wp-Content Folder. - WP-CONFIG.PHP check your wp-config file, it should start with <? and end with ?>
their should be no space or blank line before <? and after ?>
- DEACTIVATE PLUGINS AND THEMES, just through your file manager rename the folder of your plugin and themes to any other name in my case i used Plugins_temp and Themes_temp
this deactivated all the plugins, and it made my theme to default Twenty-ten theme
Any problem persists, feel free to ask
