Q: How to create a WordPress site from a manual backup in aaPanel?
Hi, I am currently evaluating aaPanel. I have a WordPress website on other VPS. I have manually taken files and database backups. Now I want to host this website on aaPanel server. I have noticed that the built-in "Create from Backup" option only supports backups created using aaPanel, cPanel, or Plesk. Since my backup is manually created, I can't create a website through backup in aaPanel.
Workaround:
1- Add WordPress → Create Site
2- Drop all tables from the newly created database and import the database backup
3- Delete the default site files and upload the backup files using the File Manager
4- Update the wp-config.php file with the correct database details and table_prefix
I'm encountering errors with this approach, and the site isn't opening.
Please let me know how to create a WordPress site from a manual backup.
Thanks
