Moved WordPress From Local To Remote: Assistance Requested
-
Greetings:
My brain is a bit mushed right now, so I hope that I can get some assistance from the WordPress community.I’ve worked on WordPress on my laptop via MAMP on Mac OS X. After doing some work on the local machine, I’ve decided to upload it to my remote server. I’ve backed up my sql file, and then edited the file to reflect the remote URL. I’ve then uploaded the sql file to the remote under an existing database. That went smoothly with no errors.
I’ve then created a wordpress directory on the remote, and then ftp-ed the wordpress directory from my local to the remote. Beforehand, I went into Options in the admin panel to update to the new url instead of localhost (the remote being http://www.urbanlandscapes.org/wordpress). I’ve also looked at the wp-config.php file and nothing needed to be changed there.
So where am I now?? Well it seems that the WP database must not be talking with the data files somehow. The login screen and the index.php file are both without any use of CSS or of any of WordPress’s functionality. Running the install script produced a window that said that WordPress was already installed. Logging in takes me to the W3C site….whoa!
I need to get away from this for awhile, but I’m very, very open to any assistance to help put the rest of the pieces together. By the way, I do not want the main index.php to be the root URL yet until all is done.
Thanks very much.
