If duplicator is the issue then what would be the steps…
try asking here: https://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/plugin/duplicator
I use Duplicator all the time and the couple of times I ran into issues it ended up being a server configuration issue.
You can test if PHP is installed by creating a file called test.php and putting this in it <?php phpinfo(); ?>. Then just upload it to your root folder and try to bring it up in your browser.
Hi dtr0xell,
Your Duplicator plugin may be copying over your entire WordPress site but it certainly doesn’t copy over your LAMP stack, right? Thus, if this is the case, then you need to make sure Apache (or whatever web server you’re using), MySQL (or whatever database you’re using, and PHP (the key topic of discussion) are all installed, configured correctly, and running. Generally, unless you’re using a self-managed hosting solution, part or all of this job would belong to your web host.
P.S., I am going to test Duplicator right now to see how it’s supposed to work. From what I have read, it looks pretty cool! Especially given it’s 4.9 out of 5 stars rating by 802 users!
Hope this helps,
Randy
Thanks a lot dtr0xell for making me aware of Duplicator. What a very cool plugin it is! Of course, I’ve only just begun to test it but for now I must say WOW.
That said, as I stated above, one must have a fully functional LAMP (or at least the AMP parts 😉 stack in place in order to successfully migrate their site. Moreover, they have to have a database to point to with its host, name, user, and password credentials.
Thus, once you have a web server (e.g., Apache), database (e.g., MySQL), and PHP up and running correctly AND either a newly created database or one you’re okay with completely wiping, then you’ll be ready to migrate your site on your Mac to your web host.
Thanks again by the way! 🙂
