]]>Dotster recently moved my site to their new technology platform, and now when you try to go to my site you get a blank page. Nothing there. When I try to login to my admin panel the same thing happens.
Looking back at the email from Dotster, it appears that the trouble might be here:
“Please note: If your domains use DNS services provided by
another company, please instruct your domain registrar to point
your domains to the following name servers: ns1.dotster.com
and ns2.dotster.com. (If Dotster is your DNS provider, we have
automatically updated your DNS settings where necessary.)”
… which I did not do.
I am a wedding florist, not a web designer, so this is all greek to me. I’m lost. Can someone help or point me to a post that will help? I tried searching but didn’t find anything.
I’m on a Mac with OSX if that matters.
Thanks!
]]>I have the site installed, but a wp-cycle plugin is not functioning and I’m not able to upload photos. I’ve researched and found other folks have had similar issues, and read info about changing permissions but that doesn’t seem to apply to a Windows host environment. I can’t seem to change permissions with my FTP client, nor does there seem to be a function in Dotster’s C-panel.
I’m on a Mac and use Cyberduck for FTP.
Thanks so much for any help.
]]>The WP files are in the /wwwroot directory, while the current site is in a subdirectory named with the site url, shoppingforhealth2011.com.
Following instructions here, here and here, among other sources.
I created a “dump” of the database, did a search and replace to change all the URLs from “localhost” to the live URL (https://shoppingforhealth2011.com), created a database on the new server, imported the dump file, and checked to make sure the options were correct. I then uploaded all the WP files, along with an updated
wp-config.
I’ve been researching for many hours to get to this point (and am grateful for all the hints I found here in the forum) but still haven’t worked it out.
Thanks in advance for any help! The client is tired of waiting, alas!

here is what my localhost config looks like:
/** MySQL hostname */
define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’);
Does anyone know if I should be using ‘localhost’ or something else with Dotster?
thanks!

I am a relative n00b to the World of WordPress and I am having some questions about how to move my files. I have a WordPress that I used the Dotster-provided installation to create. Now I want to upgrade to the newest version of WordPress and Dotster tells me that in order to do that I need to take all of my files from their hidden area and relocate them to a place where I can have all rights to the files.
I have been through all the documentation about moving your WordPress files from one location to another but I am having a difficult time finding any info on how to move them from the Dotster-installed location to my own. Does anyone have any experience with that? Can anyone lead me to a place with some documentation on how to do that type of move and what files I will need to update?
Thanks for all of your help!
