    Hi all,

    I have some troubles with my sitemove. Same domain, different hoster.
    I have export/import the DB using bigdump.php. Checked DB and content is the same as old DB. Copied files to proper directory on new host. I changes the host file in the /etc dir to check if everything works. But wordpress wants to install anew again. I constantly get the screen as if i’m installing a completely new installation of wordpress.

    any thoughts?

    thanks

    Check your wp-config.php file and make sure the Database Settings ARE CORRECT – db_Name / db_User / db_Password / db_Host

    Even if Domain is the same and WP Install Directory is same and Content of database is same; often when changing host the info necessary to connect to the database is different and must be updated in wp-config.php.

    Hope it helps. Let us know

    🙂

    Hi qpCash,

    There settings are ok. If i change one of the 4 above the message is error connecting to database. So it seems that name/user/password & host are all good. (??)

    Got it. Table prefix. Mixed that up with database prefix.

    Seems to work now. Total stupidity 🙂

    mrwon,
    Glad you got it going.
    So easy to overlook little details like these 🙂

    Cheers,
