Webserver installation displays faulty

The databases name local is wordpress – on the server it’s epmcapetowncomdb1 . Does that matter?

It doesn’t look like you’ve installed WordPress on your server.

Sorry, I deleted everything again. Uploaded all files again and tried to do the installation: “it said WordPress is already installed” – which is funny because I deleted all files before I uploaded the WordPress files again.

You also have to clear the database.

Ok , I will clear the database but cannot delete it as it was created by my provider.
After re installation can I import my design and text? Thank you!!!

Have you read https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Moving_WordPress ?

Yes I tried a few tutorials already. I’ve managed to reinstall wordpress on the webserver. Localy I changed the standard template a little bit, how do I get this changed template up to the server? Just upload the files now and change the database settings?

You can upload the updated files to the theme folder and set the required settings under the Appearance menu.

Thank you. I am not sure what to replace in the database (wordpress.sql) which I exported from the local xampp sql server? Is it “https://localhost/wordpress” replaced with “www.epmcapetown.com” ??

wp_config.php: I replaced it to following parameters:

// ** MySQL settings – You can get this info from your web host ** //
/** The name of the database for WordPress */
define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘epmcapetowncomdb1’);

/** MySQL database username */
define(‘DB_USER’, ‘epmcapetowncom’);

/** MySQL database password */
define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘*****’);

/** MySQL hostname */
define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘mysqlsvr29.world4you.com’);

/** Database Charset to use in creating database tables. */
define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’);

/** The Database Collate type. Don’t change this if in doubt. */
define(‘DB_COLLATE’, ”);

So now I made a fault, logging in (wp-admin) is not possible anymore on the server: https://www.epmcapetown.com/wp-admin/www.epmcapetown.com/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.epmcapetown.com%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1

Can anyone help?

What is the error on https://www.epmcapetown.com/wp-login.php when you login?

Thanks, I’ve found out that I had to replace https://localhost/wordpress” with “https://www.epmcapetown.com”. So I forgot the “https://” . Then I still had to upload the pics and header, don’t know why because I had it in the files but now it works.
