Im a little stuck can anyone help?
Im trying to move a wordpress install from one domain to another but im getting database connection error.
Things i have done.
Backed up site and database
imported files and database to new domain
edited wp-config.php to new databse name and password
What am i missing?
Plenty of tools/plugins that take care of the entire process of this.
Wordpress??? Really ? It is fucking shit imho but lets not get into this ;-)
If you cant find a plugin to sort you let me know. Sounds like it is using the domain/db path as the database location as opposed to server/path
Edit: I got that back to front but you know what I mean :-)
It will definitely be an issue with wp-config.php
Server, username, database name and password will all need updating.
use backupbuddy or wp-clone, they make the process really simple.
Yes wp-clone, couldnt remember the name of it but have used this on loads of sites and never had issues.Quote:

So bloody easy download file and upload to new install and it copied everything all I had to do was activate the theme I was using.
