Site redirecting to install page

    I’ve just migrated to a new webhost. I exported my wordpress database and imported to the new mysql server, using the same database and user names, and have edited my wp-config.php and ensured everything is looking correct in there. Next I’m sure the site was working propery for a few minutes, but not I’m wondering if I was perhaps still pointing at the old site while it was working, as not I just get redirected to the install page. I’ve tried installing again from there but it doesn’t work, the sql statements fail (WordPress database error: [UPDATE command denied to user blah’@’localhost’ for table blah’])

    The user does have all privilages to the table, this was set in the mysql prompt.

    Any thoughts what could be wrong?

  • first did you give the correct privileges and so on to the new user,

    also in teh wp-options table, you have to change the root links

    this is in your database:
    i have done this, before there is two fields in the wp-options table
    first one is the “siteurl” option and than “home” option
    change those two to the new link

    and make sure the user you created has local host as its host and as all privileges

    Thanks. It was a mysql permissions problem as you suggested. Resolved by granting the correct permissions and then logging on as the mysql user at a prompt and testing I could run some sql against the tables.
