I have backup of my old blog in zip format. Now I have another domain and I created it's subdomain. I want to restore that backup in that subdomain (another domain). I installed the WordPress through cPanel and uploaded the whole backup. Only the plugins get restored but not able to restore my post and pages.
Please help me out if anyone know the solution
I think you should create another database for the backup site. add users to that database so you can use it then check your wp-config.php for the right credentials.
Please use the "All-in-One WP Migration" plugin for backup and restore this is the best plugin for migration also for creating the backup, once migration will be done you just need to save once the permalink.

I have a wordpress instance that runs on a VPS I own, so I have full (root) shell access.
Let's say I want to backup and restore my wordpress content so I can move it to another server.
What do I need to back up?
My guess is -
Backing up the full wordpress directory (since it contains plugins, configs, etc..)
Backing up the full mysql wordpress database
Thanks!
If you have access to the wp-admin site I recommend migrate with this plugin wp-clone, this is the one that I use. If you don't have then you do what you said:
Migrate the wp-content and the mysql database.
Install wordpress in the new server and change the wp-content and the new database with the old one.
i need to delete a joomla website and all its content and install a brand new wordpress website on the same domain.
My thought was:connecting via cpanel and find the joomla website domain via file manager and delete the whole folder thats in public_html.After it to upload -unzip wordpress on public_html and install it.
Can someone correct or maybe suggest a better way to do it?
Thank you.
You're on the right path.
You'll also need to delete the old Joomla database and create a new one for Wordpress, using phpmyadmin.
In my localhost(xampp) wordpress themes are installed. I activate one of them And create user name and password for the wp-admin.
And I backup database and wordpress site and upload it to subdomain(live site). After upload all content will load without CSS style-sheet. And wp-admin also not working. And url as same baseurl twice.
Question is How to upload my wordpress site to my subdomian. Clear me out. Am i missing some thing??
This is pretty much what you are looking for: Moving WordPress
It´s a quite detailed manual how to move WordPress Sites/Blogs from one server to another and moving from localhost to a live server is not much different.
If you are trying to move a complete Wordpress site from one server to another I would recommend using the plugin Duplictor.

Really easy to use and does the job excellent!
I do blogging a bit. I found this video tutorial, I have used this one to successfully set up a new subdomain and install Wordpress sometimes ago.
STEPS::
Use cpanel to create the subdomain
Download the latest version of wordpress to your local drive
Upload to subdomain folder on your host
Extract the files, and move them into the subdomain folder
Use cpanel DB Wizard to create a new data base
Make a note of the username, db name and db password
Copy wp-config-sample.php to wp-config.php in the subdomain folder
Edit wp-config.php to add the username, db name and db password
Open the URL "your-subdomain.your-domain.com/wp-admin/install.php"
Fill out the fields on the form and press "install wordpress"
After creating the a subdomain, use WP clone to create and install a backup of my live site into the new subdomain. The clone site allows you to verify updates before deploying them to your public site.
Hopefully the issue has resolved already, but maybe this will be of use to others.
Thanks.
If you are trying to move a complete Wordpress site and is without plugin,
copy all the wordpress files in the htdocs/project-name to the
subdomain folder.
Then export the db from phpmyadmin,open it in an editor
Change all the url of the format 'http://localhost/your-project-name'
to the subdomain link(http://eg.example.com).
Save it and import the sql file to the subdomain's db
Change the database,username,password in wp-config of the subdomain
with subdomain's db details.

Wordpress codex gives you the steps for doing this.
I had a website made in wordpress. The database is now corrupt, cannot be restored and I dont have a copy of the database either. However I have a copy of the website folder contents that I made when I installed wordpress. I want to use the same copied files to reinstall the website with a new(fresh) database so that I dont have to go through the whole process of psd to wordpress conversion and all. Is there a way out possible?
Regards.
Delete (drop) all the the site's DB's tables through PhpMyAdmin or mysql CLI, then go to your site url and repeat the install process.
wp-cli has a nice builtin cli tool for doing this: wp db reset
Just wipe the database with the Reset Database Plugin
My Wordpress blog appears to have been hacked and now blogs do not save and any changes I make such as approving a comment do not have effect. I am trying to backup my website so as to uninstall wordpress and perform a clean re-instillation. I want to create a backup so that when i restore the website will appear with everything the same as before: posts, images, links, colors, comments, themes, pages, etc. I have already backed up the MySQL database successfully. How do i backup the rest of the site.
Please tell me how to backup the site and also how to restore the site.
Thanks
You need to backup both your database and your Wordpress installation. The main resource to use for this is the Wordpress site:
http://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Backups
If you have phpmyadmin installed you can do a database dump from ther. If you don't have this installed then use mysqldump.
Wordpress installation backup can be initiated through the following URL:
http://[yourwordpressurl]/wp-admin/export.php
That will contain "your posts, pages, comments, custom fields, categories, and tags".
These links should get you started:

http://www.siteground.com/tutorials/wordpress/wordpress_backup.htm
http://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Backups
Good idea to look at FAQ: My site was hacked « WordPress Codex and How to Completely Clean a Hacked Wordpress Install.
best thing to do is to manually copy the database, as wordpress restore has an upload limit on the built in restore function. so if you've been blogging for a while, this can be really bad.
mysqldump -u yourUsername -p yourDatabaseName > databaseName.sql
will create the file databaseName.sql this is a full clone of all your database info (all your posts & wordpress configs)
then you can restore later with
mysql -u yourUsername -p yourDatabaseName < databaseName.sql
I figured it out. One way to cleanly install a new version of Wordpress but not lose your website is the use the Wordpress export feature as mentioned by Jon.
http://codex.wordpress.org/Tools_Export_SubPanel
This exports your blog to an XML file that contains all content of your site: posts, comments, authors, pages, etc. However, images do not go with. However when importing this XML file there is an option to download and import the attachments automatically which can be done if the original site is still online. So what I did is export my XML file, upload it to a wordpress blog installed on a subdomain automatically getting the attachments, then export an XML file from the subdomain to import into the actual wordpress site. This way my attachments were simply moved around from site to subdomain back to site. This made it easy because I did not have to handle backing up my attachments manually.
So what I did was back up my theme, export my blog to XML, then delete wordpress and my database then reinstall it with a new database on both my site and a subdomain of my site.
Then I imported my XML file and put my theme in the themes folder of the subdomain. Then I exported an XML file of this subdomain copy of my site and imported it into my real site. This made my blog have all the content correct and the theme right but none of the links, plugins, or colors correct. I then had to customize wordpress through the panel to get it back to the look and feel it was. For this It was lucky I had a stored copy of the site to refer to.
This process was long because I actually had to rebuild my site twice, one for the subdomain and then again for the actual thing. But it fixed my problems.
You can simply use EverLive.net. No need to install any plugin. No need for shell access. With this service you can simply make your wordpress website backup to the cloud. One-click restore option is also available wheneven you need to restore.
