moving website http500 error

  • I everyone,

    My hosting company changed my space and gives me a few days to transfer my wordpress site.

    I exported my database and imported it in the new database.
    Everything looks well!
    Than I downloaded my site and uploaded it on the new area.

    If i watch that site ( a very complex temporary link ) it gives me

    The website cannot display the page
    HTTP 500
    Most likely causes:
    The website is under maintenance.
    The website has a programming error.

    What you can try:
    Refresh the page.

    Go back to the previous page.
    Can anyone help me?

    Thanks Janneke

  • Has DNS been updated to point your domain name to the new server?

    Not yet… do you think that is the problem?

    I want to be sure my site is up and running?
    Thanks

    In the main settings screen, you set the URLs where WP is running. Those need to be accurate.

    You can temporarily overide them on the new site by adding lines like the following to the wp-config.php file:

    define('WP_SITEURL', 'https://newhost.com/blog');
define('WP_HOME', 'https://newhost.com/blog');

    Once you update DNS, you’ll then want to remove those lines.
