    Hi Super Guru's out there,

    I'm in need of someone to help me sort things out,
    Here's the Problem:

    I'm transferring my wordpress blog to a new server,
    i googled the methods, and i manage to upload the SQL database without a problem,

    this are the steps i took:

    1.) Download the Whole old wordpress
    2.) Upload it to the new host
    3.) Download the old SQL database
    4.) Upload it to the new SQL database
    5.) Edit wp_config.php file
    6.) change the database username & password
    7.) but wordpress blog gives me "your username and password is correct but we're unable to detect the database"

    could it be that i need to upgrade a new wordpress by freshly installing it with the installation.php??

    or is there something i'm missing,
    pm me to sort it out i'll send the paypal right over after the thing is been solve~

    Thanks :D

    There is no need to do like that... all you need to do is to download a full backup of your website and upload that to your new web host.. and ask ur web host to retreive that...

    Or you may also export ur wordpress and then import that in the new host....
