roots theme and content migration

Hello wordpress community,

I have a testing website where i would need to migrate content, db and roots theme to another wordpress server with a different theme and server name.

After porting over all of the necessary files, db and made edits to wp-config.php, the new site on the new server was not able to show except for the Home page. The roots theme was not able to map itself to the content.

Will it matter if i am porting from Centos 6.4 to ubuntu 12.04 vs Centos6.4 to Centos6.4 ? Mysql DB version (5.1.58) is different on testing and production (5.5.25) server as well.

my processes were as follows:
1) dump the DB from testing
2) compress the entire wp-content from testing
3) port over to production wp-config.php and make necessary changes
4) make necessary changes on the path on the db dump file
5) port over all of those changes to production.

The new site on production did not match the testing site. I wonder what i may have done wrong. The two servers have the same plugins, wordpress version. Will there be other wordpress porting tools which will be better than my method ?

many Thanks.
