How to: Move WordPress Blog from One Host to another

Here I am going to explain how I did it. I think it will be useful to you .

First Goto you current host and take a SQL Back up and download it to your computer from the option which is given on the Admin page of your WordPress blog. Now you have to backup your entire blog directory. For this just archive it using TAR. For moving it to your new host you may use SSH. ( will talk about it later). As of now just download the archived TAR file to your computer.

Now goto your new host. Goto PHPMyAdmin or any equivalent applications. We just have to import the database which we backed up from the old wordpress blog. In PHPMyAdmin goto import and upload the database you have. Now after the upload completes just goto your database manager and create a user and password for that user. Now add it to the newly added database( this is the database you have just finished importing using PHPMyAdmin).

PS: Take a note of the Username password and the name of the database We will be needing it.

Now You have to copy all the files from the old blog directory to your new host.For this upload the downloded TAR file from the old blog which have the entire blog directory, Now upload it to the new host. Extract it to the current directory.

If you have SSH in your new host, login to the SSH using any SSh Client and traverse to the public_html directory. Then using ftp get the TAR file from the old blog.

For getting this TAR file type

ftp <oldBlogAddress>

then type the username and the password.

After that type in mget <filename.tar> now the wait as the file is being downloaded to the new host from the old host. Then type

tar -xvvf <filename.tar> for uncompressing the tar file. Now the blog directory structure is recreated Now you can log out from the SSH.

Now edit the wp-config.php file in the root directory of your blog. in the username field type in the username you created for the database, which you might have noted if you are following my steps exactly as I said. Like this type in the new password and database by replacing the old ones.

Now your Blog in your new Host should work fine.

PS: If your web blog address is also changed(Like Domain Name Change) try changing “siteurl” and “home” accordingly in the database table “wp_options” (through phpMyAdmin or similar).

PS: Even if you have done everything as I said, you may still encounter problems. So as a Last resort try copying the .htaccess from the root of the old host to the root of the new host.

Nasa Gov Websites got Hacked.

The websites of NASA’s Instrument Systems and Technology unit and Software Engineering division were hacked. The screenshots as a proof are online.

Its been said that Hackers taken advantage of SQL Injection flaws and poor access controls in mounting the attack, reports Gunter Ollmann, an ex-IBM security expert who is now VP of Research at security firm Damballa.

The details including the screenshots are available here.

The hacker says that. He didin’t alter anything in the website. He seems to be having the handle c0de.breaker.

He says that,

“I didn’t want to make something bad! Only to show as nasa have many vulnerable subdomains to SQLI, XSS, etc”

After all, not all hackers are Black Hats. :D

Facebook has a New Worm

An Israeli security researcher (Gadi Evron) and AVG researcher (Nick Fitzgerald) are reporting that Facebook has a new worm.

In blog posting Evron said he stumbled across the Facebook attack after he was tricked by a posting of the link on a friend’s Facebook wall.

“This shows that even experts can become complacent and trust systems when they really shouldn’t. It’s a good reminder for me to be more careful with social networks, which for some reason I have grown used to trusting more, without even noticing it happen!”

The picture includes a button and the phrase “Click da’ button, baby!” Once a Facebook user clicks the malicious link they are brought to an attack website landing page which automatically updates and copies the victim’s Facebook wall with the malicious link. It also copies the wall.
