Have several WP sites running fine as independent domains hosted under separate accounts. In each case, site has just an index page linking to WP install (mydomain.com, mydomain.com/blog).
To save money and simplify management, have been collecting these separate sites as add-on domains under a single account. So in cPanel, they show up as maindomain.com/public_html/mydomain.com/blog. With DNS reconfigured, typing just http://mydomain.com opens the relocated index page directly, with only that line showing in the URL. Sorry if all that is obvious; I’m just figuring it out.
I have saved one entire site using cpanel’s Backup Wizard to download full site, home directory and database. For good luck, I also downloaded the DB using phpMyAdmin export function. Now I’m trying to understand how to re-install the intact blog under the now-added-on mydomain.com.
This Codex entry doesn’t seem to require any changes to the original DB if it’s going to exist under the same URL name. Before I shut down the hosting plan for the now-added-on domain in its old location, is there anything else I should do to preserve it?
And now that I have the full site and DB backup, what is the simplest way to turn it back on under the same domain name, but now as a sub-directory of maindomain.com?
Again, apologies if this is too basic; I just haven’t found clear directions on various forums. Thanks in advance for any guidance, and hope this is useful to others.
