Bought an existing wp site and I need to transfer it on another host. I uploaded all the files ftp and then uploaded the sql back up file in cpanel but no luck. I know Im doing something wrong but what? Thanks in advance. I also created the same username, database and password in mysql..
if you are not handy with using my sql try , export option under tools and then it will generate an xml file and then go to your new blog and import the same file , i hope you will be fine with this, try this if it works other wise leave me a pm i may be able to help you

I viewed a couple of those sites but still cant get it to work. I installed wp through fantastico. Uploaded the plugins and themes. Then went into myphp and dropped the tables of the existing wpress and then restored a copy of my new blogs .sql file but still no good. I have no access to the original host's site so Im working with all the files that were given to me. I know Im doing something wrong but cant figure it out.. Thanks

That's what you pay 'em for Just out of interest... what was the problem? I'm looking to move a few WP sites around, and am puzzled at what could have caused the problem.
It was a mistake on my part which they didn't specify when I asked but they did tell me what they did on their part.
