Hi there. I have a Wordpress site with a MySQL database on XAMPP on Mac OS X. I need to migrate it to my droplet on DigitalOcean.
I already have a live domain (URL) on my DigitalOcean droplet. So I’ll need to set-up a virtual host in Apache to install the WordPress site.
I found various recipes on the internet to do this, but many have different instructions.
So, please point me to step-by-step instructions on how to do this on my DigitalOcean droplet (Ubuntu).
Thanks!
