How to migrate wordpress to EC2 bitnami?


What I want Copy the content from an existing wordpress website and move it to another ec2 instance. Content size over 600MB.

What I have tried so far:

  • created an Amazon EC2 instance and installed Wordpress by Bitnami
  • ssh into the the EC2 instance ssh -i AWS-New-Celleste-Key.pem bitnami@ec2-15-131-31-21.eu-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com
  • installed Duplicator as in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7a0av-94NYo
  • successfully downloaded the installer.php and backup zip from the originator site
  • using FileZilla, I transferred via sftp the two files from my local pc to /opt/bitnami/apache2/htdocs in the EC2 instance destination

Question: is this the folder where I should drop the files? When I go to https://www.whatsappneighbours.com/installer.php I get Page Not Found.

Solution

  • To access it at https://www.whatsappneighbours.com/installer.php you need to put the files in /opt/bitnami/apps/wordpress/htdocs
