Try this plugin [Duplicator](https://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/). It is quite straight forward and has a nice video guide how to work with it. * Cheers and wish you luck * Thread Starter [sproficiency](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sproficiency/) * (@sproficiency) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-database-installation/#post-5731289) * Thank you for the guidance. I downloaded and tried to make a database/package but it is not working. It keeps scanning but it doesn’t respond after this. I tried thrice but it didn’t help me at all. * It took more than an hour to scan single period and after this it returns back to Setup package. * Please help on the same. * [WPyogi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpyogi/) * (@wpyogi) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-database-installation/#post-5731290) * Have you tried looking for documentation for how export a database from Webmatrix? That might be the problem. * Thread Starter [sproficiency](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sproficiency/) * (@sproficiency) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-database-installation/#post-5731291) * They also do not have much information on it. It helps in exporting the database and web deployment but doesn’t talk about the integration part. * And this is why I didn’t prefer the Godaddy Hosting. FTP deployment is not working at all and web deployment integration is always an issue specailly with godaddy. * I just need a wordpress pluging that can copy/clone/import and export the database. * [Prajay](https://wordpress.org/support/users/prajay/) * (@prajay) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-database-installation/#post-5731296) * you can take the back up of your database using the php code. to find this code use this following link. * [http://www.tutorialspoint.com/php/perform_mysql_backup_php.htm](http://www.tutorialspoint.com/php/perform_mysql_backup_php.htm) * [alordiel](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alordiel/) * (@alordiel) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-database-installation/#post-5731297) * Here is another solution for you: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-migrate-db/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-migrate-db/)\ It exports your DB only and also have a nice tutorial how to work with it. Before moving to duplicator i was working with this one. Hope this will help you. * Thread Starter [sproficiency](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sproficiency/) * (@sproficiency) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-database-installation/#post-5731301) * WP Migration DB, All-in-one WP Migration, Duplicator, WP Clone, Multisite clone duplicator, Upload to FTP, and other manual option tried, but nothing is working at all. * All show progress and after sometime, they go blank.. * [LyleChamney](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lylechamney/) * (@lylechamney) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-database-installation/#post-5731314) * Try this plugin: Adminer * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/adminer/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/adminer/) * This will create a database export (dump) that you can then import into your hosted database. * Once installed and activated, it will be under the Tools menu. – select Adminer– click ‘Start Adminer insider’ or ‘Start Adminer in new tab’ – in the left sidebar, click ‘Dump’ – in ‘Output’, select ‘Save’ – make sure ‘Format’ is ‘SQL’ – click‘ Export’ – an SQL file will be saved to wherever your downloads are saved * This is the file that will be imported into the new, empty database that you will create on your web host. * Once you import it, you will need to edit the ‘siteurl’ and ‘home’ fields of the wp_options table with your live, website domain name, e.g.: * `http://www.my_domain.com` * That’s the ‘database part’ 🙂 Viewing 8 replies - 1 through 8 (of 8 total) The topic ‘WordPress database installation’ is closed to new replies. ## Tags * [database](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/database/) * [export](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/export/) * [Import](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/import/) * [installation](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/installation/) * In: [Installing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation/) * 8 replies * 5 participants * Last reply from: [LyleChamney](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lylechamney/) * Last activity: [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-database-installation/#post-5731314) * Status: not resolved ## Topics ### Topics with no replies ### Non-support topics ### Resolved topics ### Unresolved topics ### All topics
