Description:
So I have a live site backup, and I want to restore it in bitnami. But I have no idea how, and I couldn't find a tutorial or thread on how to do it.

I have the SQL database of the live site, a copy of the root, and an entire .tar.gz site backup. However I can't go on the live site to use any migration tools because I've somehow screwed that up and it's gone offline.

I have a brand new stack, that's fresh and untouched. How do I import the site into that and login into it to make sure everything is okay?

Hi @dg93,

Is that .tar.gz a backup of the whole installation or just the WordPress' folder? If the former, you can restore it by following the steps in this guide

https://docs.bitnami.com/general/apps/wordpress/administration/backup-restore/

In the latter case, you will need to launch a new instance and substitute the files there

sudo cp -r /opt/bitnami/apps/wordpress/htdocs /opt/bitnami/apps/wordpress/htdocs.back
#Extract the files and copy them to htdocs
sudo chown -R bitnami:daemon /opt/bitnami/apps/wordpress/htdocs
sudo chmod -R g+w /opt/bitnami/apps/wordpress/htdocs

Happy to help!
