    Hello,
    I'm trying to transfer my WordPress from Yahoo server to Bluedomino server and I copied the folder with wordpress and pasted into the new server. When I try to view the page it's distorted and the links go to wp-admin/install.php. According to the instruction, all I need to do is change the wp-config. I changed the settings in wp-config.php and it looks like this:

    <?php
    // ** MySQL settings ** //
    define('WP_CACHE', true); //Added by WP-Cache Manager
    define('DB_NAME', 'wordpressrealty'); // The name of the database
    define('DB_USER', 'not shown'); // Your MySQL username
    define('DB_PASSWORD', 'not shown'); // ...and password
    define('DB_HOST', 'mysql'); // 99% chance you won't need to change this value

    // Change the prefix if you want to have multiple blogs in a single database.
    $table_prefix = 'wp_'; // example: 'wp_' or 'b2' or 'mylogin_'

    // Change this to localize WordPress. A corresponding MO file for the
    // chosen language must be installed to wp-includes/languages.
    // For example, install de.mo to wp-includes/languages and set WPLANG to 'de'
    // to enable German language support.
    define ('WPLANG', '');

    /* Stop editing */

    define('ABSPATH', dirname(__FILE__).'/');
    require_once(ABSPATH.'wp-settings.php');
    ?>

    Any help is appreciated,
    Pat

    Looks like URL maybe changed and "WordPress address (URI)" in server settings is wrong ? I have test-installation on http://localhost and if i open that from network with IP address it looks quite similar (it try to load some of the files from http://localhost = computer where browser runs). In your case it may look some files from old address ? Look at statusbar at bottom of browserwindow, is it loading _all_ from correct address ?

    http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress you find instructions how to change URI on database if thats broblem.
