How I got this from my test environment to production

This used to be just my http://testserver/wordpress but using these simple commands you can make any staging environment production.

With that in mind, here is a simple way to duplicate a database from the command line of a windows server:

  1. Create the target database using MySQLAdmin or your preferred method. In this example, db2 is the target database, where the source database db1 will be copied.
  2. Execute the following statement on a command line:

mysqldump -h [server] -u [user] -p[password] db1 | mysql -h [server] -u [user] -p[password] db2

Note: There is NO space between -p and [password]
