Copy the dev55 (web) folder over to your server directory

rsync -av dev55:/var/www/server/(sitename)/web/ web

NOTE: in the following you'll see (user) (dbname) and (pword) These are found in the sites wp-config.php file. You will need to replace the (user) with user etc.

Rename this web folder to the sitename

mv web mountpleasantwow

Make sure permissions are good. Group writable

copy the database (from dev55) [no space between -p and the password]

mysqldump -u (user) -p(pword) (dbname) > fileName.sql

Create the database on your localhost

mysql -u root -p
create database (dbname);
grant usage on *.* to (user)@localhost identified by '(pword)';
grant all privileges on (dbname).* to (user)@localhost;

Rsync over the database

rsync -av dev55:(dumplocation).sql .

Edit the file and replace the dev55 site url with your new localhost. In vim.

:%s;mountpleasantwow.gaslightmedia.com;mountpleasantwow.localhost;g

Import the database - use the same info as was used in the wp-config.php on dev55

mysql -u (user) -p(pword) (dbname) < fileName.sql

Add new site file for nginx.

Edit your /etc/hosts file to use (sitename).localhost

sudo vim /etc/hosts
## add the line: 127.0.0.1 mountpleasantwow.localhost

If this is the first time you're creating site copies:

cd /etc/nginx/sites-available/
cp default mountpleasantwow
sudo vim mountpleasantwow
## Comment out the two listen lines at the start of server {
## Change the 'root' line to suit the new location e.g. /var/www/server/mountpleasantwow
## Change the server_name to mountpleasantwow.localhost;
cd ../sites-enabled/
sudo ln -s ../sites-available/mountpleasantwow ./
sudo service nginx restart
