Migration troubles from Win to Linux Host

  • Hello All,

    I am trying to migrate a wordpress website off of a current Windows 2012 server to a linux (Centos 7) lamp stack server I just built.

    I’m running into a few issues here. Anytime I try to edit the apache config, it usaully doesnt want to start back up (the service). I finally got that working, however the website has an SSL certificate, which is proving to be quite the problem for me. After following multiple tutorials online, i am here.

    I’m wondering if anyone has any instructions as to how to PROPERLY process this.

    Another issue I’m having is, when trying to access the site on the NEW server via IP address (because we cannot change the live url to the new server without testing), i am able to load the home screen, but anytime I try to access wp-admin or wp-login.php it redirects me to the current windows server (the live website).

    Any help is appreciated

  • Have a look at the steps for moving WordPress just to see if there may be any that were accidentally omitted, or taken out of order. Moving WordPress

    It sounds like you may still have URLs in the database that point to the old domain/test server.

    I did look in the database for the subdmoain that the wordpress instance is pointing to, but it does not find any. As far as the test website is concerned. It’s URL is 10.1.1.49 .
