I am trying to move my wordpress based site to a new dedicated server and I can't understand what I need to do. I have uploaded all the files and made a database, but things still aren't working and I'm getting frustration. I would like someone who is a trusted member here since I will have to give ftp access. Please message me on msn messenger (jdekmar-at-hotmail) thanks
What is the error message you see? and if iam not wrong you bought a windows server and trying to install php based wordpress on it? http://forum3.midphasetalk.com/showthread.php?p=33376
no it's a linux server. i had problems finding the .htaccess file because my ftp client was hiding it. then i uploaded an old .htaccess file and now i think things are messed up. when i go to the url now, i get a message from plesk saying the domain isn't configured. at one point i had wordpress running but none of the links were working because i'm using seo friendly links that require the .htaccess file to be modified.
If the ftp client is not showing your htaccess file try to access it/ re upload it from cpanel>file manager
