Moved my site to new account, can't get it running

  • I moved my wordpress site to another account, uploaded all the files successfully, imported old database successfully – at least I see it in MySQL dashboard on godaddy, and can manage it in phpMyAdmin – but my site still isn’t coming up. I have heard I have to reconfigure my wp-config.php, but I cannot figure out how to access that file.

  • Can you clarify “Isn’t coming up”? Are you seeing a database error?

    Your wp-config.php file is in your web root, you should be able to get to it the same way you uploaded all the files.

    My site is https://www.bigshootout.com. When I enter that in my browser, I get a graphic stating this:

    sorry…that site is not currently available.

    I used the ftp tool in my godaddy dashboard to upload the files to the godaddy server. I see the config.php file there, but I can’t open it. When I try to open it in a browser, I get a 404 error.

    When I try to launch it in Dreamweaver, I got an error that says:

    “This page may have dynamically-related files that can only be discovered by the server”

    I have the option there to “discover” it, but when I try that, I get this:

    “Dynamically-related files could not be resolved because authentication failed.”

    Sounds like something is set up wrong.
