Solved…
Problem was file permissions on server.Now may I will be able to run search replace script…
Thanks for your time and help. Really appreciate.
Do not place the contests of the script’s folder.
I haven’t placed that.
A typical WP install with this script would have the folders as follows:
/your-secret-search-replace-folder
/wp-admin
/wp-content
/wp-includeshttps://interconnectit.com/products/search-and-replace-for-wordpress-databases/
I have put search-replace folder on ftp. in directory where we have wp-admin,wp-content,wp-includes directories…
So after uploading search-replace-folder it looks like this
/search-replace-folder
/wp-admin
/wp-content
/wp-includes
/so onThen I tried to open
http://example.com/search-replace-folder
http://example.com/search-replace-folder/index.phpBut Getting same 500 error…
One more thing I have noticed:
If I put wrong database credentials in wp-config.php file then also I am getting same 500 error message.Hi esmi,
Now I am trying to run search and replace script but this is not allowing to open that file too… I am getting same 500 error.
Please let me know if there is any other way or I am doing something wrong. Thanks.
Sorry my mistake. Let me rephrase.
I have skip 4th step as I can not make website down for time till I download updated files.
Instead of this I changed siteurl and home options_value in wp_options, wp_options1 table.And I did not run search & replace on the wp_posts table.
I don’t get wordpress admin panel too so can’t run first two options.
I didn’t try 4th as it is written there (** only use this option if you are comfortable with database administration ** )but i can try those options now if they can solve problem.
Thanks.
Hi esmi,
So If I would do 4th step (Log in to the site you want to move and go to Settings > General, then change the URLs. (ie from http://example.com/ to http://example.net ) – save the settings and expect to see a 404 page.)
That will make live website down. But i don’t want to do so.
The reason making a clone of existing website to sub domain is we want same website on sub domain with some different information.
For example. Our main website is example.com
we want to load ny.example.com for New York Location.So first we want to get same website on ny.example.com and later we make changes on ny.example.com for New York location website.
We never want to make example.com down.
Please let me know if you have any solution for that.Thanks.
Thanks for quick reply.
Yes followed same steps. I tried duplicator plugin before. That won’t work well as total size of wordpress website is around 1.5GB 🙁
So I have uninstalled and removed that plugin.
Then followed those steps. I downloaded all files and hosted everything to new folder. Database changed. Database connection updated.
Still I will try again same steps.
This is my worst experience ever in web development.
