Migration from one server to another

  • Hi,

    could you help?

    1. Installation has server No. 1
    2. I made a database export and import to the server 2
    https://www.test.mak.szczecin.pl

    Yes, it has to be on the subdomain, so that I could test the whole.
    3. in config.php not changed:
    user
    database name
    password

    because nothing has changed, I have uploaded the contents of the database.

    but I added entries :
    define ( ‘ WP_HOME ‘, ‘ http : //test.mak.szczecin.pl ‘);
    define ( ‘ WP_SITEURL ‘, ‘ http : //test.mak.szczecin.pl ‘);

    4. I ??made the copy of wp.content and moved to the server 2

    5. changed domain in wp.options

    siteurl https://test.mak.szczecin.pl
    home https://test.mak.szczecin.pl

    What I have to change to make it ok?

  • Hard to know exactly what is wrong, so I would suggest following the standard documentation:

    With a little care, the instructions can be adapted for Cloning a site for testing, too.

    Personally, I find that the Duplicator plugin works in most situations, and automates almost everything:

    Hi,

    Is this a correct way of thinking?

    1. A database was created using an automatic system (option in cPanel). It has a specific name on the target server.
    2. exported base from which I want to move on this server above.
    3. I removed all the records from the new base from step 1 and made ??import from the database of step 2.

    The database name on the target server has not changed. Do I have to change it in config.php?

    wp-config.php is the only place that Database Name, User, Password and Host Name (usually “localhost”) are defined. When you move WordPress to another Server, all of them have to be the same if you don’t change wp-config.php. No matter what, it is a good idea to review wp-config.php to be sure that everything is right for the new server:

    As I said, you need to be reviewing this documentation:

    From what you are saying, I think you missed this step:

    When your domain name or URLs change there are additional concerns. The files and database can be moved, however references to the old domain name or location will remain in the database, and that can cause issues with links or theme display.

    You will have to check and see if you missed anything else.
