Thank you the trick was to read the DEBUG file in wpcontent/error_log.txt.

That was the problem! thank you rwaynick!! when I checked the wp_options table the ‘siteurl’ was not what I assumed with would be! Now it is working!! 😀

Unless you changed the port to 80, you’ll need access your site at http://localhost:8888/mysite

Yes I changed the port to 80 in MAMP

I’ve had this issue when forgetting to put a single quote mark (‘) either before or after the database information in the config file.

This is what is in my config file.

define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘mysite’);
define(‘DB_USER’, ‘root’);
define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘root’);
define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’);
define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’);
$table_prefix = ‘main_F5_’;

Hi Tara,

Try incremental update. Use this tutorial:

Thank you for your response but I do not think incremental updates would help me because I want to take the current database of information we have and migrate it into the newer version that is supported by our central office.

Ohh nooo… :/

Well thank you for your help regardless.

Is there any sort of default work flow I can follow to try to figure this out?
