Hi,
Created a fresh install of WordPress on hosting platform. When that worked, i used FTP to upload my theme files into the existing directory.
I then uploaded my sql file into the existing database and changed connection strings to match my wp-config file.
That did the trick.

But i noticed a difference in my wp config file and that of the hosting company under the defined parameters of DB Host credentials.
I suspect this is where the problem resides.

In my config file, i had it as localhost,
But on the hosting company file, they had it with the exact server name and port number.

I hope this helps

I have done all those when moving and it has same result. Even wen i use a fresh wordpress instal with a new database, it still populates this error. I am starting to think it is related to the fact that my domain is pointing to a sub directory of the main site. What is your take?

Hi,
All the above steps have not resolved the issue.
Any more ideas to assist with this problem?

I have done this and still same error. I went a step further and deleted all my site files, and only uploaded a fresh copy of word press install and it too brings this error.

Not Updated, But rather uploaded. I have the website files running perfectly on my host-gator Cpanel. But these files are to be hosted on OVH hosting and thus the shift from Host-gator to OVH.
I have not updated any files but simply transferring from one hosting to another.

I simply uploaded my files via FTP to the site, and this popped up. It works fine on my localhost and host gator panel, but when i upload to OVH hosting, i get this error.
The PHP versions and SQL versions are the same across all the hosting platforms.

Please advise

Hi…thanx…I am currently developing an online store site using ecommerce tools and I must say it was the first idea that popt in my head.but the logic behind it is wat eludes me. And what plugins to employ

and is there any other way to go about this apart from deleting it or do i need to re install it again to my dashboard. and what might have caused this?
also to ask,on the wp-login page at my localhost, should i use the same credentials to login to the dashboard as i do on the live site

appreciate the help

true…thanks guys….

thought so too, so basically the easiest way is just to install wordpress, and import your xml wordpress file from localhost containing posts, comments and menus. which also means that you have to install the theme on the wordpress hosting account because when you leave the twenty thireteen theme, it assumes all the content in that specific theme. in that case, why use ftp if you can literally import the xml file from your wordpress install on the localhost

okay, that has resolved. but now the issue comes on continuous content management. how does the owner of the site once i upload it, handle content management and regular uploads without the install of wordpress on the hosting account. remember, uploading using ftp, does not carry the dashboard application for regular access and updates of the site. how to go about that.

install.php is the least of my worries…still need the core of this topic resolved with help from members out there.

how do i do a restriction

yup..now when i reload the homepage, it loads the wordpress install page for my site, but i dont want to install because it will create a whole new dashboard without my originally created files at my localhost install. so i decide to go to myphpadmin, import the .sql file, which after a reload of the home page, loads without the theme but content is visible. some of my images are missing as well.

yes..i did to the live domain name.
