# Basic Deployment Question

 * I am very new to wordpress.
 * I am used to an environment where you code on your local pc, package the files
   for deployment and then deploy in various shared environments like DEV/QA/Prod.
 * My question is if I develop a site locally in WP, how do I migrate it to DEV/
   QA/PD environments? Is there a deployable archive created that is deployed in
   every environment?
 * If not, do we need to copy the application files and database structure and data
   manually using some way to deploy the site to various environments?
 * Thanks

 * Thanks.
 * I’m not sure your link covers this scenario because I’m very new to wp.
 * I want to replicate my local site from pc 1 to pc 2. Basically both will be ‘
   localhost’ and I made an export of my local wp db from pc1 that I want to replicate
   onto pc 2. I also have a few plugins installed on the 1st pc where i want to 
   copy from.
 * Can I just run the db import using the sql script I created on pc1 on pc 2 to
   replicate the database? Also for replicating my site, can I copy everything under‘
   wp’ which is my local wp site directory? Will this also copy all the plug-ins
   to pc 2?
 * Thanks
