How To Find A File Using SSH

To find a file on your server using SSH, simply use the “locate” command.

Example: locate fileyouwant.file

This will result in an output of all files on your server with that name

Using SSH to copy a file from one directory to another is done simply with the following command:

cp file.name destination/directory/

Many web applications, including Magento need PHP5.2 to function. If your server doesn’t have PHP 5.2, there’s a simple way to upgrade.

Using SSH, logon to your server.

Use these commands:

wget -q -O – http://www.atomicorp.com/installers/atomic.sh |sh

yum update php

/usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/websrvmng -a

/etc/init.d/httpd reload

That’s it!

Here’s the SSH command to import a database backup to a new database.

Navigate to the directory where your database copy resides using SSH.

mysql -uusername -p databasename < backupname.sql

You’ll be prompted for the password for the database. Enter that.

If this is a Magento database, it could take awhile to import. Ours is around 600M, so it took awhile.

That’s it.
