Moving wordpress from one server to another
-
I am trying to move a WordPress website from my dev server e.g. https://www.devserver.com.au/site to production server https://www.productionsite.com
I have gone through this linkl https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Moving_WordPress but nothing is workign for me.
Please advise me, I have been doing below so far
1. Download your existing site files i.e https://www.devserver.com.au/site
2. Export your database – go in to MySQL and export the database.
3. Move the backed up files and database into a new folder – somewhere safe – this is your site backup.
4. Log in to the site you want to move and go to Settings > General, then change the URLs., I have changed it to https://www.productionsite.com
5. Download your site files again.
6. Export the database again.
7. Edit wp-config.php with the new server’s MySQL database name, user and password.
8. Upload the files.
9. Import the database on the new serverI am getting below error
website page isn’t working
website is currently unable to handle this request.I know the link says When your domain name or URLs change there are additional concerns.
So how can I fix it , I don’t have access to dashboard now.
If I have to make changes in the database then HOW?
