Moving WordPress to a New Server

  • I am moving WordPress from one server to the other, keeping the same domain name. I followed the instructions on wordpress docs and tamba2 sites I havent been able to get it to work correctly. I uploaded the files to the new server and imported the database. I also changed the “siteurl” and “home” values to the new server’s IP address, I am able to view my home page but with the “hello world” content instead of my actual content. My personal theme and ads are there though. If I click on any of the links on the menu, it correctly takes me to the appropriate url of the new server. However, I get a “Not Found” message.

    Any ideas?

    Also, I am unable to login into the WordPress admin page on the new site

    Have you guys regenerated the .htaccess file? (Settings > Permalinks)

    Displaying correctly the home page but being unable to open single-page blog notes is typically an htaccess file problem.

    Make sure there’s an .htaccess file at the root of your blog, I’d suggest you copy your previous htaccess file from one of your backups.

    For instance, without warranty it would work in your case, here’s my default htaccess :

    # BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress
