moving wordpress on subdomain(another server) 500 Internal Server Error

  • Hi,

    I am moving the wordpress installation from https://www.synpack.22interactions.in to a new subdomain(another server) https://www.2015.synpack.com/.

    1.Backup database from old server
    2.Backup wordpress folder from old server and downloaded
    3. Created new database,user+password on new server(mysql)
    4. Uploaded wordpress folder to new server.
    5. Edited wp-config.php on new server wordpress folder as per new database,username and password.
    6. Imported database to new one using phpmyadmin

    PROBLEM:
    I am not able to access the site https://www.2015.synpack.com or the wp-admin or dashboard

    I keep getting “
    Internal Server Error
    The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
    Please contact the server administrator, [email protected] and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.
    More information about this error may be available in the server error log.
    Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.”

    TRIED:
    – disabling plugins through phpmyadmin
    – renamed .htaccess to _.htaccess and created a fresh empty.htaccess

    I still seem to have the same problems.

    Can anyone help out in understanding the problem and the solution to it?

    Thanks

  • I can understand you want to move wordpress from one domain to the other. I don’t think the steps you provided above should yield a successful migration. I am not surprise about the outcome.

    Here is what you need to do. You have two options.

    1. Use a plugin to make it easier. see duplicator . Here is a useful tutorial form youtube

    2. the second option is do a CORRECT manual migration using the data-base reset method. check the steps below.
    – set up and empty wordpress in your new host
    – Copy wp-content from the old site to the new one
    – export DB from old sites phpmyadmin
    – fix database urls of old sql file to the new one
    – drop the table content of the new site
    – import the edited sql file into the new DB

    You need to be skilled to do the later.
