• I migrated new WordPress localhost via Filezilla to the live domain, removed existing Joomla site and now receive one error after the other.
    Going to the web url gives me a server error now.

    Newbie at WordPress etc so this has me fully stumped

    Did you set up a database on the live server for wordpress?

    It first gave an error about not being able to find the config file. Then a whole lot of troubleshooting and editing later I get a server error (www.leagroup.co.za)

    I set up a new database and new user in phpmyadmin?

    Is http://www.leagroup.co.za the address of the wp installation we’re talking here?
    Did you configure the domain to point to the right ip address?

    When you migrate a wordpress website you have to upload your files and establish a connection to a database.
    You can create the database through phpmyadmin, but you also need a user for that database.

    Easiest way to do this is to go to the Users tab in phpmyadmin, click on add user and you get this http://i.imgur.com/KOj3sa7.png
    – enter username;
    – select localhost;
    – enter password;
    – check the option pointed in the screenshot
    – scroll down and click go.

    Then go to http://www.leagroup.co.za/wp-admin/install and you should get the installation page.

    Edit: http://www.leagroup.co.za/wp-admin/install gives me an Internal Server Error, try with a clean wordpress installation, and if it’s still giving you that error contact you host as they should be able figure out the problem easier.
