Moving large Wordpress installations
-
I am just curious how many people have experience moving over a large wordpress install (database size 400MB - optimized as much as possible)?
I am about to do it and just wondering if anyone has had similar experience/tips?
Thanks :)

Hi Christine,
Take a look here. It's helped me move large databases when PHPMyAdmin failed to work. http://www.ozerov.de/bigdump.php
I have not used the CLI to move a database until I found this site and did some other research about using the CLI for such a purpose. Did you have some issues trying to move the 400mb database from the CLI into the new database?

You have to make sure that you have changed the maximum upload limit and post limit in your nginx conf file to upload big wordpress database through bigdump. Otherwise you will get Too Large error from nginx

Guv, that's exactly what I did. I had no idea you had an article about it, it would have saved me a lot of Googling. I will say about.com's article is WRONG. That threw me for a loop.
It took a long time and I am having issues with that website so I may have to dump some of the database and append it later.
Appreciate all your advice- big dump totally helped me when I was importing the AOL search database a long time ago into my own database.
