Title: Testing HOST Migration – Last modified: August 24, 2016 --- # Testing HOST Migration – * Resolved [Terry Delmar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pix365/) * (@pix365) * [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/testing-host-migration/) * Fresh install new DB – 100% successful and site backups OK. New directory and new DB created Followed workflows on [http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress](http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress) + one extra step I replaced the SALT’s in wp-config (obtained via the API) * Issue Login: All browser report Cookies need to be set. Replicate the move using v4.1.1 No issues. Revert back to original virgin 4.2 install and DB – cookies need to be set. Flushed cookies and history.(chrome) = Same Cookie issue Fresh browser (firefox)= Same issue Fresh Desktop (safari)- Same issue changed DB tables from wp42_ to WP421_ in wp-config – ran install cookies OK. — I haven’t got a clue where to start to debug this.

You mean this error? * > ERROR: Cookies are blocked or not supported by your browser.

SQL 5.5? * Thread Starter [Terry Delmar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pix365/) * (@pix365) * [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/testing-host-migration/#post-6033837) * Ouch (fair comment).. Sorry i plain forgot about the basics after 3 hours of going around in circles. Thinking I had not followed the workflow 100% chning PHP versions.etc… just can’t get good staff these days can you.. 😉 ———— URL [http://xxx/wp-login.php](http://xxx/wp-login.php) Message is “ERROR: Cookies are blocked or not supported by your browser.

I can’t reproduce it (works fine on DH and on localhost, which I’ve almost always got running). * Have you done a full purge of the browser cache for cookies? You have to sometimes hard delete them. * Thread Starter [Terry Delmar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pix365/) * (@pix365) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/testing-host-migration/#post-6033913) * Ok I’d agree if I failed with 4.1.1 as well..this works. And like you i’ve done this many times before. * Same issue on Macbook (firefox ansd safari) Same issue on Firefox & Chrome Version 41.0.2272.76 Built on Ubuntu 14.04, running on LinuxMint 17) Same issse in WIN 7 Pro (Explorer firefox and chrome) Same issue on WIN 8.1 (Explorer firefox and Chrome) * These are not VM’s all 4 are standalone machines. if any single one had not come up with the same Message, I would not have open the ticket. The only other common thing is the Broadband router. So took the enternet cable out and ran a crossover cable between the Server and the macbook (& deactivated wifi) after Flushing every cache I can think off… I get still the Error message. So on Mackbook– uninstalled safari and firefox… cold rebooted. used ftp to get chrome installed Chrome ran crossover cable to server. Same error message. ———— I have a few other options left and will try these tommorrow. * Thread Starter [Terry Delmar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pix365/) * (@pix365) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/testing-host-migration/#post-6033969) * Created virtualbox – with WIN XP – and netscape v3 (old school OS and Browser..– no issues with (4.2-RC2) * upgraded to (4.2-RC2-32233) No error message on any of my 4 machines and i can use any browser.
