Problem creating a copy of a site
-
I would like to create a copy of my main site for sandbox purposes. My main site is at root level.
I followed all the instructions here (https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/website/wordpress/duplicate-wordpress-site-for-testing) but just to recap: I copied all the WP files off the FTP, then set up a new subfolder, then uploaded the files there.
I went to the main site via cPanel, exported the SQL database, created a new SQL database, imported it. I then manually went into the sandbox’s wp-config.php file and changed the references from the old SQL database/user to the new.
But when I visit the new URL, I just get a “page missing” error. (Yes, I made 100% sure for typos.) I also tried visiting the admin page, and also get a page missing error there.
I followed those instructions (linked above) accurately, but no go (and I tried this 3X now)…what am I doing wrong?
