Create Site Copy From Dev55

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 writeable

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;

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

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

Rsync over the database

rsync -av dev55:(dumplocation).sql .

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;
sudo service nginx restart
