Migrating Mac WordPress Site to Windows WordPress…

    Running into problems transferring site to new server…

    Installed Windows WordPress – works fine.
    Followed these directions to transfer old site.
    1. Emptied all tables from default MySQL DB leaving empty DB.
    2. Imported tables for new site into clean MySQL DB.
    3. Copied new site code and subdirectories to wwwroot, replacing default
    4. Was careful not to erase/modify original wp-config and web.config

    Rather than getting a properly formatted wordpress page, I get lots of displayed code:

    __( ‘Header Menu’ ), ‘footer-menu’ => __( ‘Footer Menu’ ) ) ); } add_action( ‘init’, ‘register_my_menus’ ); add_theme_support( ‘post-thumbnails’ ); add_image_size( ‘home-header’, 1920, 550 )…

    No DB errors, just no proper display. Is this a DB rights issue, or am I just doing something wrong? Any ideas will be appreciated!

    Installing WordPress instead of transferring it over from your old site can get you in trouble.

    I’ve always followed this documentation and it has never failed me. So long as I choose the correct section(s) for my situation:

    Thanks for the info. We are still having problems as we are trying to move a site from a hosting company to a on-site server. Developer is unfamiliar with any system other than a hosted commercial site.
