Hi support team,

I am running into the problem, while I make a copy of the site to proceed as testing site not able to get it to run.

I have copied the files, changed the corresponding “wp-config.php” with URL and also done a copy of database with rename strings and import in corresponding database. But cannot get it back to run.

Any ideas how to solve?

BR, Alex

Hi,

we don’t provide this kind of support. Please use a tool that doesn’t break serialized strings to change the domain in the database. We suggest better search and replace.

If you wish to do everything via SSH, please seek the support of a system administrator.

Thanks

Hi again,

just for info. It is now solved.

Above commands are working but for search/replace the script is not working while using Link URL in case of ajax out of time problem. The database is too big. This could be solved by using the cli commands stated in help file of search and replace script data.

I could now have found out the proper cli commands [ ]=place holder with user specific info to implement in

php srdb.cli.php –host [ip address] –name [db name] –user [database user] –pass [pw] –port [figures] –search [old string] –replace [new string]

Now everything is working fine on my end for cloning the site.

Thanks for trying to help me.

BR, Alex
