Local to live sever, I messed up somewhere

  • Attempting to take my local wp site to godaddy host. not sure what i did wrong but no matter what i did to trouble i was unable to get my site up. i edited my wp_config to the new databases username and password, i ran a find and replace because my wp files still had the local url. Long storuy short i have ran myself in circles and i am trying to start over. but since changing the url from local to my domain name i cannot get back to my site.

    Ive started deleting my local database and creating a new one.
    Where did i go wrong and how do i get back to my site?
    (www.thespotstudios.org is the domain)
    Thanks

  • You don't have permission to access / on this server.
    First step – check file/folder permissions

    fyi…i have removed everything from the host and are starting from scratch creating new databases etc.
    So taking the live sever out of the equation..just getting back to editing my site locally, how can i get back to this point? (without losing my work)

    can you show me the folder path on Godaddy? Now the error is The requested URL / was not found on this server.

    // ** MySQL settings – You can get this info from your web host ** //
    /** The name of the database for WordPress */
    define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘thespotwebsite’);

    /** MySQL database username */
    define(‘DB_USER’, ‘root’);

    /** MySQL database password */
    define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘root’);

    /** MySQL hostname */
    define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’);

    /** Database Charset to use in creating database tables. */
    define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8mb4’);

    /** The Database Collate type. Don’t change this if in doubt. */
    define(‘DB_COLLATE’, ”);

    create a test page testconn.php with the following code

    <?php
$link = mysql_connect('localhost', 'root', 'root');
if (!$link) {
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
echo 'Connected successfully';
mysql_close($link);
?>

    load the page to test if database can be access correctly
