I need to migrate wordpress site to azure. How to do that

Hello Abhinav,

In order to install Wordpress as an Azure Website, you need to follow these steps:

1. Create a Wordpress Website App on Azure. In this tuturial, you will learn how to create a Wordpress Azure Website. This application will also create and host a new MySQL database.

2. Copy your previous Wordpress website's files by using the FTP deployment. Here is an example on how to use FTP for Azure Websites.

3. Use the database connection parameters that were provided in the first step to change your Wordpress PHP configuration files.

4. Migrate your MySQL database to the one that was created by using backup and restore. This is an example on how to achieve this.

If you would like to try out hosting your Wordpress website with SQL Server, you can use the following tutorial: Using Wordpress on Windows Azure with SQL Server instead of MySQL.

I hope this helps!

Thanks,

Luis
