Again, with the help of SSH, connect to the Local by Flywheel. This can be found in the *_options table under siteurl. Open the site in the Local by Fylwheel database and check out the URL you’ve got from import. A 50GB database could take about 7-8 hours to import completely. Power your computer (if it’s a laptop) and remove any sleep option. This will now import the SQL and with the option -f we are forcing the import to continue even if an error has been triggered.īe aware that with big databases, you’ll probably have to wait for a long time. mysql -u root -proot -f local < /app/backup.sql We are now inside of our site through SSH and we have access to MySQL there. Let’s say that our SQL is now in the app folder. We can import it with the native mysql command by ignoring errors. When you try to import the SQL through WP CLI, it will stop its execution when an error has been triggered. Sometimes and Index is missing or similar. The problem with big databases can sometimes be that there are some errors in the SQL. This should get us our backup.sql right there in our app folder. We should now get the regular backup.tar in our app folder. tar. If you don’t have such commands locally installed, then open your site with SSH in Local by Flywheel. To unpack it, we need to unzip it (gunzip it) and also to unpack it from.
#LOCAL BY FLYWHEEL DIVI DOWNLOAD#
we have defined our current directory as the download target. cd /Users/yourname/Local Sites/mysite/app On my computer, a site would be installed at /Users/yourname/Local Sites/mysite. We can place ourselves in the app folder (the next command will work on a MacOS). Now, if you’ve created a site, go to it’s own app folder.
#LOCAL BY FLYWHEEL DIVI INSTALL#
If not, find a way to install it or download the optimized file from your host.

If you have SSH, you’ll probably have the SCP command also there. If we are in the folder where the SQL is located, we can run this: tar -cvzf backup.sql Download the File with SCP Let’s get back to our ssh connected site.
#LOCAL BY FLYWHEEL DIVI HOW TO#
If both commands tell you something about how to use it, then you have them installed.

Try typing these commands to find out if they’re defined: If not, Local by Flywheel should have those commands available when you connect to your local site through SSH. But be sure that you have those tools also installed on your local machine. Is your SQL too big? We can make it much smaller. If that’s correct, then you can export the SQL even easier. You can check that out just by running the command wp in the command line. Maybe your hosting provider installed WP CLI on your site. This will place the SQL file in the folder from where you’ve run the command. If you don’t know the username and the password, you can read them in wp-config.php.
#LOCAL BY FLYWHEEL DIVI PASSWORD#
This will also ask you the password for the database. Here you need to define your username and the name of your database. Exporting SQL from MySQL mysqldump -uUSERNAME -p DATABASE > backup.sql If you have an SSH connection to that site and you can access MySQL on that site, you can get everything by using SSH because it will be much faster. Some hosting providers will have an option to export the database and you’ll probably get an SQL file. When we’re working with such large databases, you will probably get them gzipped. This is an obvious step, right? You will need to get the database. If not, you can still follow most of it (ignore the downloading part). This tutorial will also assume that you have commands such as ssh, tar, scp and gunzip installed on your environment. If you don’t have Local By Flywheel, please go download it and install it so you could follow this guide. In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to migrate such large databases in Local by Flywheel through SSH. But what if your site has large databases (read tens of GB), what to do then? If their site is not a big one, you’ll also have no problem using some of the existing solutions such as WP Migrate DB Pro and alike. If you’re using Local by Flywheel the site is hosted on Flywheel, you will have no problem. Working with clients with WordPress sites can be difficult when you have to migrate their site locally so you can develop on it.
