I only have a copy of my wordpress database which i exported through phpmyadmin. I have no other thing. How can i restore my wordpress site using this. I have imported it through phpmyadmin and i still can not find my wordpress. It still reads error. Can someone direct me on how to fix this properly?
You can first copy the wordpress files to the new server. Then after that import the database and set the database details into the wp-config.php file. It should be fine.
Are you importing the database correctly? If you are getting errors when importing the db, then you could have a problem with the database file.
You need to install fresh wp files there first and then import your old WP DB Backup and change wp_config file as per DB setup. DON.
Your database credentials in the wp-config.php file is incorrect. When I checked your wp-admin file, I came to know about this error. http://modospot.com/review/wp-admin/ If your username and password is correct, make sure your hostname is correct. Most often it should be "localhost" but may be different with some hosting companies.
Do like this: 1) Install fresh new wordpress. 2) Login in cpanel and go to phpmyadmin 3) Import the database file OR execute the SQL. Your wordpress blog should be restores.
It's now showing the install page. You should be able to continue from this point and use the database host, name and password to connect to it correctly.
Yes now its showing the install page. I guess you are better off from here. As you have only the db back up, you should manually install your custom themes/plugins/widgets etc. whatever you had earlier.
i have finished installing and creating the wordpress page. Now i am importing my backed up database files from myphpadmin. I will update yall when i am through.
Open up your wp-config.php file and check the following: a) Has the php opening tag at the top (<?php) b) Has the php closing tag at the last line (?>) I had the similar problem earlier, the closing tag was not there in the last line. ------------------------------------------------------ This might be due to some extra whitespace becoz of your plugins. Try to remove them through your ftp server or wordpress admin panel and then reinstall them.
am finished. the years hard work is gone. this must be a dream because i cant believe it is happening.
