Local WordPress site to live server results in errors

    I have built a wordpress site on MAMP Pro on my mac and am ready to upload the website to the live server.

    I have backed up all my files.I have then installed wordpress on the live server and uploaded the local WP files via the c-panel file manager. I have also created a new phpmyadmin database and then uploaded the local database and replaced the live database. I ensured to edit the Options file and change the website url from the local URL to the live URL. I have then also gone back to the wp_config file and changed all the settings which point to the database to ensure they have been updated and point to the new updated database.

    I understand that once this is been done some of the links will be broken and i was looking at changing this through a plugin i have used in the past.

    I have migrated a few sites over before and never had this issue occur and i cant seem to why.

    Whenever i visit the site which should be live i get the Internal Server Error.

    Has anyone else had this issue, have a fix or any suggestions?

    Thanks

    Internal server errors (error 500) are often caused by plugin or theme function conflicts, so if you have access to your admin panel, try deactivating all plugins. If you don’t have access to your admin panel, try manually resetting your plugins (no Dashboard access required). If that resolves the issue, reactivate each one individually until you find the cause.

    If that does not resolve the issue, try switching to the Twenty Fourteen theme to rule-out a theme-specific issue. If you don’t have access to your admin panel, access your server via FTP or SFTP, navigate to /wp-content/themes/ and rename the directory of your currently active theme. This will force the default theme to activate and hopefully rule-out a theme-specific issue.

    If that does not resolve the issue, it’s possible that a .htaccess rule could be the source of the problem. To check for this, access your server via FTP or SFTP and rename the .htaccess file. If you can’t find a .htaccess file, make sure that you have set your FTP or SFTP client to view invisible files.

    If you weren’t able to resolve the issue by either resetting your plugins and theme or renaming your .htaccess file, we may be able to help, but we’ll need a more detailed error message. Internal server errors are usually described in more detail in the server error log. If you have access to your server error log, generate the error again, note the date and time, then immediately check your server error log for any errors that occurred during that time period. If you don’t have access to your server error log, ask your hosting provider to look for you.
