 * I installed WP on IIS server. I prefilled my new site wilde being on localhost.
   After that i changed the binding to reflect the correct URL, however also after
   updating the home and base url, images remain pointing to localhost while everything
   else workshop fine.
 * What am I missing here?
 * Thanks
    Harry

 * You need to do a find and replace to change localhost to your domain name as 
   WordPress uses full paths everywhere.

 * Alternative (automatic) solution for moving wordpress across servers: [http://www.halty.net](http://www.halty.net)
 * It will change your localhost links to the new URL automatically.
 * Let me know if you run into any issue with it.

 * You can do one thing,
 * Get the complete data export from old source and import in new working place.
 * I may work for you.

 * Hi halty, if you get database sql and processing find & replace the older path
   to new path, In this case the widgets and other serialize data store will damage
   and you may lost such data. Please take cart of it. It’s mostly in widget section.

 * I used the [Search and Replace ](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search-and-replace/)
   plugin. and this worked great
