It might have simply been some time for name servers to update. Is it working now? I’m able to get to the admin page without issue.

They should be the same. You may try the manual install by uploading the files and importing the database in cPanel > phpMyAdmin. Or you may simply be in a different folder and need to navigate to the folder where you installed WordPress.

Using that tool at Bluehost, you can just add the sub-folder in the box after the /. In that field after the domain name, just add the subfolder name, and the auto-installer will create and install wordpress in that folder.

You can change from php5.2 to php5.3 on Bluehost. Just go to the cPanel > software services > phpconfig and choose 5.3 and save the changes. This will change your .htaccess to use 5.3 instead of 5.2. This link from their helpdesk might help: https://my.bluehost.com/cgi/help/447

You might also try the velvet bluest replace URL plugin: https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/velvet-blues-update-urls/ As bh_wp_guy mentioned though, a backup of the database is always a good idea. Good luck!

Here is the article I think he was trying to post: https://my.bluehost.com/cgi/help/206 That should fix it.

You shouldn’t need to update the folder path if the domain name is staying the same. You can also update the username and password by using phpMyAdmin: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Resetting_Your_Password#Through_phpMyAdmin

No problem, glad I could help ??

You might want to try velvetblues update URL plugin. I’ve used it and it works pretty well.

You might try searching the plugins for it:

Those are some I found, but don’t know how helpful that would be.

Are you wanting to do this cloud storage using a WordPress blog? That isn’t really what WP is used for, but you could make it work.

He should have a temporary URL for instances like these. He could talk to BlueHost and they should be able to tell him how to test it.

It looks like its pulling an index.html. WordPress uses index.php. You could rename index.html or edit your .htaccess so it would have a line in it to pull the index.php first. By default, the server will get an index.html first before index.php. So if you have both files in there, it will pull up the index.html first.

You can at anytime. I would recommend getting all the files and the database set up before doing anything like that, though. That way, its set up in both places before you pull the trigger on moving the URL. Look for the this line in the wp-config.php:

** The name of the database for WordPress */
define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘dbname_wrd#’);

Then in phpMyAdmin select that _wrd# from the left and after that hit the export on top. Here is a good article on this: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Moving_WordPress

Yeah, he can just upload the files, create a new database, and then edit the wp-config.php to match his new hosting username, as that will be different from yours. After that, the site should work. If the URL or domain name is different, he’d have to update the URLs(I like VelvetBlues update URL plugin for that). Good Luck!
