Hey everyone,

I’m trying to migrate a couple of Wordpress sites to DigitalOcean. Setting up the multiple databases wasn’t a problem.

I used this tutorial:

https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-migrate-wordpress-from-shared-hosting-to-a-cloud-server-with-zero-downtime

Unfortunately, this tutorial is only focussed on a single WP installation. The scp upload thingy also didn’t work out. So I installed Wordpress via the normal installer, imported the .xml file so I’ve got all my articles back.

Then I installed myPHPadmin to import the database. I used an SFTP client to upload the WP_content folder to my droplet. Unfortunately, that doesn’t work. I use a non-standard port, and Wordpress says “Apache/2.4.7 (Ubuntu) Server at www.gametech7.net Port 80”, could that be the problem?

1) Can I fix this with SFTP?
2) Is this a good method for multiple WP installations?
3) Did I mess up, should I start all over again and follow the tutorial exactly?

Thanks guys.

Jonathan
