 * Hi,
 * I’m a beginner so am wrestling though building my first WordPress.
 * I’ve built my site hosting it locally on my machine using MAMP.
 * I’ve successfully obtained a domain and some storage, but when I moved the site
   over to the hosting site I am no longer able to access the dashboard.
 * When I type my URL with /wp-admin, I get:
 * [http://patrickpictures.co.uk/wp-admin/patrickpictures.co.uk/wp-admin/upgrade.php/?_wp_http_referer=%2Fwp-admin%2F](http://patrickpictures.co.uk/wp-admin/patrickpictures.co.uk/wp-admin/upgrade.php/?_wp_http_referer=%2Fwp-admin%2F)
 * Any advice on how I can get back into my sites Dashboard would be really helpful.

 * I tried to type patrickpictures.co.uk/wp-admin/, and I get to a valid login page(
   url: [http://patrickpictures.co.uk/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fpatrickpictures.co.uk%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1](http://patrickpictures.co.uk/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fpatrickpictures.co.uk%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1))
   
   Did you change something?
 * Also, you may have to change the website name in your database (in two places)
   using phpmyadmin (there should be two rows in the wp_admin table to change)
 * Let me know if you managed to solve your problem.
