[Chester LUG] An idea

[Steve Lilley]

Yes I use digital Ocean for Wordpress at the moment. I use rsync to keep
files in sync and version controlled on PC, then rsync to push changes to
live sites (leaving out just 2 files wp-config.php and .htaccess as these
have instance specific data in).



Then I do a database dump/import and use the amazing searchreplace.php
script to do a ‘smart’ find and replace for all the URL’s buried in the
database. Smart because it solves the issue of serialised data where the
length of the URL matters.

PS the $5 instance will only support a few sites (512MB).. I have to
upgrade after a while
