Ah there it is – perfect. Thanks Michael!

yup, fixing .htacess fixed it. I had renamed it for debugging; replacing it fixed the ‘not found’ issue.

I have the same problem… I’ve just had to fix some permissions issues. I wonder if it’s related?

Ok, i just re-installed everything, and I think the problem was the coding. The blog should have been Latin1, whereas before I imported it as UTF8. Weird.
Thanks for the hlep iridiax. Editing wp-config.php sure was part of the problem. I had to make sure the two databse filenames were the same.
Cheers.

Isn’t the password encrypted? How can I record that in the wp-config.php?

aaah, no I didn’t. It will be the same URL, but I was hoping to get it working with the IP address in the browser URL bar first.
I guess I could switch Nameservers and use an IP for the old host…
Is there a way to check it without doing that? Is that definitely a URL issue do you think?

Er. The problem appeared to be my theme…

i tried doing that, but my host has deleted the old files. I guess I’m SOL. Time to build another blog ??

Ok! I deleted the old install, ftp’d the OLD files (!) back to the server and tried to import the database using phpmyadmin. I then get this error, each time –

Error
SQL query:

—
— Table structure for table wp_bad_behavior
—
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS wp_bad_behavior ;

MySQL said:

#1046 – No database selected

__________

no, it doesn’t. I’m really at my wit’s end.
I tried removing the WP installation and starting again.

AFAIK, I have the databases backed up and all the blog files> I’m just not sure in which order I should install WP on the new server. Do I use Backup Restore in Cpanel to restore, or PhpMyAdmin, or MySQL? Should I have to change the permissions if I ftp the new files over?
I’m really at a loss here.

I followed this part of the instructions:

If You Don’t Care If Your Old Blog Works

Download a copy of the main wordpress files from your OLD blog to your hard drive and edit wp-config.php to suit the new server.
the password appears to be encrypted, or is it meant to be gobbledy gook? Is it possible to change that, because that is not a password I have ever typed anywhere!

Go back to your OLD blog and go to options and change the url (both of them) to that of your new site.
The new url is the same as the old one, no changes there

Again, download your database (but keep the old one just in case), upload this new database and the copy of the wordpress core files with the edited wp-config.php to your new server. Thats it!
I copied the entire /blog folder over, and did a PhpMyAdmin restore with the backed up wrdp1 database. Is that it?

Moshu – thanks for the link. No I havent checked that page – but I will ??

I think I got to the wp login, by clicking on an Edit link, but when I try to go to :
https://nburmandesign.com/blog/wp-admin/
I get this error message:
