• 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 server

    I 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?
