CP Multisite Set Up Help

Hi there,

I have just set up my multi site for postingblue.com - but have issues with setting up the new one (subdomain - london.postingblue.com)

1) I went to the back end of CP and tried to export PB (saved onto my computer) and then importing it (using WordPress) but it did not work. It came out either with 'Sorry, there has been an error.
File is empty. Please upload something more substantial. This error could also be caused by uploads being disabled in your php.ini or by post_max_size being defined as smaller than upload_max_filesize in php.ini.' - or it comes up with list of ad posters, asking me to create user names or they will be assigned automatically? I didnt create any, and when i click add files, everything said Failed, Failed....... have a good day!


2) So i went to gatorhost for help to locate this sibdomain - thinking i could just import my backedup postingblue.com files to the sibdomain.
I asked a tech guy at hostgator to help me locate the folder for my sub-domain but after 30 mins of searching he said, "With wordpress Multisite, Wordpress creates a virtual subdomain, You would not see the subdomain listed in your Cpanel or in your list of folders. You can, however, access your dashboard at london.postingblue.com/wp-admin
I do apologize they are virtual so I am not exactly sure how you would access it for your original problem of moving the files."

The guy also said it is advised to copy and paste instead of moving files between 2 sites (ok - i'm confused).

Please advice, help, guide.

Thanks guys
