I needed to move a full Wordpress site to a new hosting account - maintaining the same domain address. The original account was a Windows hosting account and I'm moving to a Linux hosting account. As far as I know I successfully backed up the site (everything in my directory using ftp) and I backed up the SQL to a .sql file.
Now I'm trying to upload everything to my new Linux hosting account. I have completed the following steps:
1) I have uploaded all of the files using ftp to the new account 2) I have created a new database (by a different name) 3) I have imported my backed up .sql into the new database 4) I have edited wp-config.php to refer to the new database name, database user name and password, and the new hostname.
Unfortunately I get an entirely blank screen when I browse to my domain. If I upload an index.html file it comes up but if I remove that I just can't get my wordpress site to show up.
When I browse to wp-admin/install.php it tells me that it is "Already Installed".
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks, Maureen
