    I did these steps Download a copy of the main wordpress files from your
   OLD blog to your hard drive and edit wp-config.php to suit the new server. Go
   back to your OLD blog and go to options and change the url (both of them) to 
   that of your new site. Again, download your database (but keep the old one just
   in case), upload this new database and the copy of the wordpress core files with
   the edited wp-config.php to your new server. Thats it!
 * Still , I got the same error
 * What more do I need to do?
