Reinstallment “Not Found” Error

  • I’ve switched my blog to another host, and I’ve done all of the steps correctly. Backed-up the MySQL database, created a new one, uploaded my new site, and the SQL’d the Sql file into the new database…but when I try to run any of the pages, I get this error:

    Not Found

    The requested URL /blog/wp-config.php was not found on this server.

    Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

    The blog address is:
    https://www.bottomunion.com/blog

    This comes up, but seems to not be using any of the templates I have. I cannot access anything, and am at a loss for what I’m missing. I’m sure it’s something small. Please help. Thanks

  • Check your folder names! “Blog” and “blog” are not the same for the server…

    This is not it…I’ve been trying all sorts of things…working in circles, and the same problem keeps coming up. There are other directories in the site that are not showing up either. I have no idea why. It’s like the WordPress files aren’t even there, even though I know they are, and can see them.

    Well, I get a 404 – Not Found Error when trying that address.

    Now, when I try it with a Cap “B” (https://www.bottomunion.com/Blog/ ) then it worked sans the CSS.

    It’s trying to load the CSS from
    https://bottomunion.com/blog/wp-content/themes/benevolence/style.css
    Note: Lowercase “b” ….. this may in fact be the problem. The server is being case-sensitive. …. So, it sounds like what you need to do is use phpMyAdmin to update the Blog and WP URIs to have the capital “B” in their entries… then things should start working again.

    I see this now…strange. Ok. How do I do this through phpMyAdmin? Could I do it through an FTP program, and just delete the files and directory, and re-upload them in the lower-case “blog” directory? Would that work as well? Please leave instructions on how to do this through phpMyAdmin, though. Thanks for the help.

    I would recommend changing the directory to a lower-case ‘b’ (iow, /blog/), but if you wanted to keep it as /Blog/, use this guide to fix manually fix the siteurl and home values via phpmyadmin:

    This worked. I’m slightly amazed that it was somethinig this easy. I renamed the directory (/blog/) with a lower-case, and everything started working. I can’t believe it was something so simple. Thanks for all the help…
