In reply to: How to manage and upload multiple local WordPress sites?Your answers have all been so quick, which I am very grateful for. Unfortunately for me, they are somewhat brief and a little vague, and I am left with more questions…
In order for WP multi site to work on my web server the SAME way it is working now locally, what do I have to do in terms of file ftp, database import, and any changes that I would need to make to remote files?
Thanks.

In reply to: How to manage and upload multiple local WordPress sites?I have enabled the hosts file change as you indicated, and that allows me to access my three local websites here: http://localhost/site1/, etc..
The part I am not sure about is uploading the local WordPress and MySQL files to my domain name web server. Will the three local sites work the same way on my domain name, such as http://www.mydomain.com/site1/ ?Forum: Networking WordPress
In reply to: How to manage and upload multiple local WordPress sites?What I want is to find a way to create and update 3 WordPress sites on my computer, and then upload them to their respective sub-folders on my domain. If I simply FTP all my WP files and import the SQL database, will my server behave the same way as my local computer for browsing to a particular site? For example, locally, to access any of my sites I type in http://localhost/site1 or http://localhost/site2. When these are uploaded, will this work similarly on the web server, so that I can type in http://www.mydomain.com/site1 and the same for site2? Will WP carry over the virtual sub-folders?

In reply to: How to manage and upload multiple local WordPress sites?I’ll have to look elsewhere for more information, as this is still not clear to me. In order for me to browse my 3 local sites created using a single WordPress install (by enabling multi site), how would I configure my hosts file? Like this: 127.0.0.1 localhost site1 site2 site3 ? Do I need to use any extensions like .local?
Shouldn’t I also be configuring the httpd.conf file as well as the httpd-vhosts.conf file? That’s where I get lost, because in the vhosts file, it looks like it wants separate folder paths for each mapped virtual name, but they don’t exist in the WordPress multi site creation.
It might be easier for me to do 3 separate installs of WordPress in 3 folders, each with their own database. This might eliminate some of the headaches. Any thoughts?

In reply to: How to manage and upload multiple local WordPress sites?From what I have read, making changes to the hosts file would look something like this:
127.0.0.1 mydomain.comCan I configure the hosts file somehow so that I can browse all 3 sites locally, but using the “mapped” domain?
Also, how do I move the multi site WordPress files to my remote server, and how do I “map” my 3 local sites to their respective domain sub-folders here:
mydomain.com/site1/
mydomain.com/site2/
mydomain.com/site3/Any other help would be appreciated.

In reply to: How to manage and upload multiple local WordPress sites?Thanks for the quick reply Ipstenu. I am not sure I follow you when you say to change your PC so you can go to domain.com and have that point to your LOCAL pc instead of the version on teh web. If you and/or Andrea has any additional information on this, that would be most helpful.
Also, can I get your opinion on databases in this situation? Am I ok going forward with all 3 sites in the same database? Would/could it be easier to separate the sites with each having their own database?
Thank-you.
