I’m still trying to sort this out. I re-installed WP the traditional way not using the HG one click. It worked just fine. I then re-copied the files from the live site using fileZilla and migrated the DB using WP Migrate DB plugin and PHPMyAdmin. No luck – takes me to the install page. So I followed the install procedure using the same user and password as the last clean install (could this be where the problem lies?)- WP told me that the installation had been successful. I can get into the Admin pages and I see a clean install, but viewing the site shows me my self made under construction file (index.html) in the root directory of the hosting ( the same directory as wp-content, wp-admin etc.folders. I can see from PHPMyAdmin that the new installation is in the same DB as the migrated tables, but has different prefixes ie wp_options and gp_options. Is there some wizard out there that can tell me what is going on? Thanks
