I am transferring my wordpress site to another host and I followed this tutorial Everything went perfect and I did follow the steps carefully. I created the database and in wp-config.php file I wrote the database name, database username and password correctly but it is not working. See here http://gator804.hostgator.com/~jani325/ The template of my site is appearing and all static pages are also there, but it is not getting the posts from database I need help to fix it. Please guide me what could be the possible reason of it.
Looking at the link you gave - there is probably some problem with the 'reading -> permalink' settings... Have you setup a .htaccess file?
No I haven't done anything to .htaccess file. It was not mentioned in that tutorial, that's why. I just copied the .htaccess file from previous host and pasted to new server.
I think you are getting 404 error because you are accessing your blog using temporary URL. I also get 404 error on my wordpress blog if I access it using temporary URL. But it works fine with actual URL. If you have successfully transferred your web contents and database then your blog should work fine once you change DNS. Kailash
I contacted hostgator and they said the same thing which Kailash said, I was using the temporary URL that's why the content was not showing. Now the issue is solved
Glitto, did you solve your problem? When I click the above URL, it shows me the following error: Not Found Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn't here. .SR
Yes .SR, the issue has been solved I even wrote a tutorial on How to move your wordpress site to a new host or server
Best way is to import the xml file from your wordpress backend/Admin panel > Tools and then import it on your new admin panel.. Could you kindly tell me how to restore a FULL BACKUP? i mean not the home directory, SQL and all individually, Suppose i have taken a FULL backup of Home dir, domains, SQL, Mails etc.. How do i restore the whole thing at a go?
