Never mind. It got fixed on its own. I am working on MAMP on OSX 10.6.8. Maybe that had something to do with it. It didn’t work for over 2 hours and I had even restarted MAMP. Well, now it does.
I am sorry for being such a novice at this.
So I install WP 2.9 on the new server, what are the steps after that?
Sorry, i am sure you are right, it must be php 4. I realized that the database is file is incompatible with the php installed on the new server which is 5.
How does one move database in such a situation?
I could not install wordpress on the new server complete with the existing database because the database was in php 2 and the new server guys support php 5.
I could do a fresh install on the new server but how would I be able to move my data?
