    Hi!
    What I did, below is summary of that
    1. Downloaded the database from the old host
    2. Used FTP to download files
    3. Added a folder in to the new host (root)
    4. Created a Database and User
    5. Assigned the user to DB
    6. Uploaded the files to new host root where I created the folder for my upcoming domain.
    7. Changed wp-config to update, DB, User and password.
    8. Unassigned the domain from old host & assigned it to new.

    Now I am getting this error "
    The website encountered an error while retrieving http://www.rediis.com/. It may be down for maintenance or configured incorrectly.
    Here are some suggestions:
    • Reload this webpage later.
    HTTP Error 500 (Internal Server Error): An unexpected condition was encountered while the server was attempting to fulfill the request."

    Kindly help me out. The site is down. Please

    Hello there,

    As it looks like you are using cPanel, I am going to guess and say that you are using SuPHP for the PHP handler. You mentioned you created a folder as root, and with SuPHP enabled, it will flag a 500 error, as the owner of the folder is incorrect. You should run the following as the root user, make sure to replace USER/GROUP with the proper account user and group name:

    chown -R USER.GROUP /home/USER/public_html/
    chgrp nobody /home/USER/public_html
    Code (markup):
    Regards,
    Chris

    The error log in cPanel should give you an indication of the problem.

    Friends I think I resolved it. I simply deleted the plugin "landing page" and everything started to work fine. Thanks for your showing your interest & helping me in due course.

    Every time when you move the wordpress site. Disable all plugins.
    When you move the site. Then one by one enable the plugin. On enabling any plugin if the site gets down. Simply delete the plugin by going file manage wp-content>Plugins and delete that plugin.
    After enabling all plugin. Download that plugin and enable it. then your site wont get down.
