Thanks a lot for this plugin. very, VERY useful. Don’t know if I these were problems only for me, but I’d suggest a few very small changes:
I’d change line 58 to
`mysql -h $local_db_server --user=$local_db_username --password=$local_db_password --default-character-set=utf8 $local_db < tmp.sql`;
Why? well, on my machine, default-character-set was set to latin1 and that caused some trouble, also, not setting –password=$local_db_password explicitly made my install of mysql stop.

Anyway, thanks again.

I am utterly amazed at how simple you made this for me. Thank you for your hard work as this plug-in is a most for anyone who understands that information can be easily lost.

Hello Binny!,

First of all, thanks a lot for sharing this wonderful script. I’m loving it

I’m trying to set a deployment process (using your script) that will send my local WP db and files (Windows7+XAMPP) to my Amazon EC2 (Ubuntu10+Bitnami WordPress stack).

The first problem I encountered is how to run ‘gzip’ and ‘mysql’ in a windows machine. I’m trying to do something like this:

`C:\Program Files\WinRAR\UnRAR.exe e $file_name > tmp.sql`;

`C:\xampp\mysql\bin\mysql.exe -h $staging_db_server -u $staging_db_username $staging_db_password $staging_db < tmp.sql`;

but obviously this is not working

I will continue reading about it and post here anything I discover. Probably the exec() command of php can help…

Please, share your ideas if you have any.

Thanks a lot!

Joan

Would this work with WP 3.0? Some info suggests it would not… but may be just outdated?
That would be great!
