Moving multisite wordpress to new host (same domains), issues
-
Hello,
I purchased a multisite wordpress website:
stack52.com
strength.stack52.com
hiit.stack52.com
weightloss.stack52.comI backed up cpanel using the backup wizard. I uploaded the backup to my new host, and they unpacked it and replaced the previous “empty” cpanel.
I then changed all the name servers in my domains to the new hosts name servers.
Some of the pages will load, but some will not.
These load:
stack52.com
strength.stack52.comweightloss.stack52.com gives this error “https://weightloss.stack52.com/” but the favicon works! ??
Many of the pages in strength.stack52.com also give that error. The previous owner rebuilt his site and has a lot of 301 redirects. Many of the pages with redirects are broken (but some work).
When I try to log into strength.stack52.com/wp-admin,
I get the following error:“Error establishing a database connection
This either means that the username and password information in your wp-config.php file is incorrect or we can’t contact the database server at localhost. This could mean your host’s database server is down.”The support at my new host tells me:
“If you run the search and replace for the server name the domains stayed the same but the connections are still pointed to the old server.”They directed me here for help.
I would deeply appreciate any help.
Thank you,Kurt
