erver is redirecting the request error after migrating wordpress and database
-
We are developing our new web site using WordPress. We are doing the development work at https://dev.windmastershill.org with the intent of once we have the site ready to move it to https://windmastershill.org. Our intent is to continue to have the https://dev.windmastershill.org as a place to test new plugins and functionality before promoting them to production. As such, the dev web siet is set to Search Engines Blocked.
In preparation for the move, I created an https://d2.windmastershill.org with a new SQL database and new SQL user and password. I used the WordPress Database Backup plugin to backup the complete database. I then edited the backup file in Notepad++ and did a search/replace changing dev.windmastershill.org with d2.windmastershill.org. I then imported this updated file through PHP Admin into the new database and it imported successfully.
I used FTP to copy my entire wb site to my hardrive and I edited the wp_config.php file and changed DB_NAME, DB_USER, and DB_PASSWORD. The SQL server is the same, so I did not need to change DB_HOST. I then FTP’d all this up to the new location.
When I try and load the web page either at https://d2.windmastershill.org or https://d2.windmastershill.org/wordpress I get “Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.”
When I go to https://www.d2.windmastershill.org/wordpress/wp-admin it takes me to the login screen and when I enter my admin id and password it just refreshes the login screen. I am unable to access any of the dashboard as I get redirecting error.
Thanks!
