I have a site that is hosted on a server that uses PHP, Apache. I would like to migrate this site another host that is running on PHP-FPM and Nginx. Obviously, changing the nameservers, mysql dump and transferring the actual wp folder is the easier part. But, I would like to know what settings to modify before migrating the site.
As far as I know, the only thing I have to worry about is pretty urls. I may be able to do
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
if it works. If not however, the I will risk the site being defaces for several hours before reversing the nameserver to it's original state.
