Moving to self-hosted server

  • Hi,

    My WP site is currently on media-temple, and I am trying to move it to my own server.
    – I copied the database and the various files,
    – Changed the siteurl and home files in the wp_options DB table

    And now I am able to get the home page, but anything else gives a 404 not-found error. More precisely:
    – https://siteurl works
    – https://siteurl/page does not work
    – https://siteurl/index.php?page_id=2 picks up the right fields from the database and redirects to https://siteurl/page, but which then gives a 404

    I have trying to play around with my .htaccess but it hasn’t helped. Tearing my hair out now!

    thanks!
    Adi

  • do a search and replace on the database for the site url’s
    with 3.x.x there are several to change

    Thanks. I tried that, but I think the problem is different. It’s after the redirection that https://siteurl/page results in a not-found, and so it seems that index.php is not getting invoked. Had it been invoked, we would have seen some other database error or something.

    Any leads into where I should be checking? .htaccess or some path problems…
