To achieve this simply, make sure your WordPress version is 3.0+. It is always recommended that you have the latest. First you need to activate the network: http://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network Note that, as you are using a local installation, you won’t have the choice to create your network in sub-directories as subdomains won’t work.

Ok, just browsed through the source code for wp-admin/setup-config.php 🙂 Apparently the distant call is made to generate SALT secret keys: $secret_keys = wp_remote_get( ‘https://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/salt/’ ); Calling this URL generates code like this: define(‘AUTH_KEY’, ‘5.p7N9J5mEb++TB9=X[#mD,97,*L.2&j `]+9(igm;.G8z#zCx{JcocPkoqJW_l*’); define(‘SECURE_AUTH_KEY’, ‘y)pV:td0nD>Vk.WQY/_jz>B.fW+6-)JXQB+o–c@+LfHdRlJUmq~{CK%8(RI}/:(‘); define(‘LOGGED_IN_KEY’, ‘~3:FIV(b+0YB3zh-H+}X$3Z0^6J|5R0G/?((#iQ<zR5R.&`og[.)*l0O/R;|fkZH’); define(‘NONCE_KEY’, ‘3*{YXmsB`qHI^:C7R<P6RfD=+ }.aD+[1 8?]Z `y$Qs!B{;WBa_bA4)^v7fTc*t’); define(‘AUTH_SALT’, ‘iKqrV-wj-Tul9Hf/73.^k,X9:}44X>Md|N7Wcis,t~{;z5gkAJ+_#@+`K*<(,$>}’); define(‘SECURE_AUTH_SALT’, ‘|IHFZzBK~;O|^+}btQ|XD2D+y.|tIG>+@%#7Au%HScaX0zgOf_3}B299I;miqoz:’); define(‘LOGGED_IN_SALT’, ‘} >Bpcr|jIZ6~88isD ^!f<a>J7MKtqhi]%)-)6Cpu-@&7L;VDo?O+J+!a^>n(K8’); define(‘NONCE_SALT’, ‘5QW_oa0[P._!IVGe+OGHkO?i+U|5k6Fr-O;,-Hr@|<f!}i%iZVK2[#My-ld|4]8M’); … Read more
Your first issue is the fact that you’re using query_posts. That function isn’t meant for creating new queries to the database; instead, it’s used to modify the existing global query. Read up here and here for more information on what you can use instead. Second, there is just some strange code in your template that, … Read more
OK, it was a noob mistake, as predicted! I had to go to kdev.vcip.com/wp/ for the installer to run. Once I did that I went to the Settings page and changed my WordPress address to http://kdev.vcip.com/wp and my Site Address to http://kdev.vcip.com.
The WordPress-Config-Bootstrap is setting DEBUG to true on a local installation. If you try to define DEBUG again later you should get another error. The solution is not to use the non-existent property $id. Notices should be fixed not suppressed.
Before import database_backup.sql. You have to replace server url with your local url in sql. for example: you took backup from abc.com , and your local url is localhost/abc .then open database_backup.sql and find and replace abc.com with localhost/abc. Save and import now.
WP uses the GUID column of posts for links. You need to replace that, I use a script http://interconnectit.com/products/search-and-replace-for-wordpress-databases/ Just drop it in your root dir then follow the instructions. Hope this helps!
I think your process for migrating to the live server was sound. I’m pretty sure that your issue is with step #2, more specifically the replacing of local URLs with the server URLs. While you likely replaced all of the URLs correctly, it’s possible that the serialized data in the database didn’t get changed to … Read more
Try restarting the services. If you still get the error of Error establishing a database connection, open wp-config.php and check if you have entered the proper database details (username, password, database name, host)
Leave your database alone. Instead insert two lines in your wp-config.php on the local server: define(‘WP_HOME’,’http://yourlocalserver/yoursite’); define(‘WP_SITEURL’,’http://yourlocalserver/yoursite’); The rest of what you are doing probably doesn’t matter and editing the SQL export is prone to error so you could easily be breaking things.
