I am trying to help an NGO as a volunteer to:

  • recover your website after an incident with your web hosting service (internal sabotage by someone who left the organization)
  • the fact that I do not currently have access to the source makes things even more difficult;

I did the following:

  • I installed Mamp on my Macintosh
  • to make things easy and very quick, I developed a minimum site in Wordpress with the content that was provided to me in less than two hours.
  • a new web domain was purchased (they were also sabotaged in the domain)
  • I spoke to a friend who runs an IT company to provide us with a free web hosting service, which is already mapped to the new domain.
  • should I note that the new domain is not mapped to the web hosting service at the dns level

In relation to migration:

  • _first tried to backup my Mamp data on the public_html ftp server that is running the panel, as well as clone the database and migrate it)_
  • I could not access the installation of Wordpress through the IP address

As the first iteration of the site is quite minimal, and basically I can migrate content to Wordpress:.

  • i deleted the previous installation in your database
  • _cloned a blank Wordpress copy in public_html / site (where the site replaces Wordpress_
  • I believe a database in mysql as well as a user, and I associated the user with the database
  • edited the wp-config.php file and added the name of the database, user, password

I added in some fields near the end of the document with:

  • define ('WP_HOME', 'http: // ip / ~ user_name');
  • define ('WP_SITEURL', 'http: // ip / ~ user_name');

Then I tried to access the site via http: // ip / ~ user_name where:.

  • _ip argument and ~ user_name are replaced by appropriate values_
  • didn’t work

I tried to :

  • Ipaddress / site / wp-admin
  • didn’t work

I appreciate all the help I can get because:

  • this should be completed tomorrow

I should note that:

  • the web hosting service is not really cooperating at the level of technical assistance

  • Search on how to migrate WP from local host to a web server, you will probably have to use an Akeeba plugin to "zip" your site and then unzip the site on the webserver. So vc will only use Cpanel’s phpmyadmin to build the bank. Look for tutorials on how to migrate Wordpress from server

  • I got around it. the only mistake I made was how I entered the username in the ip address, which should point to the username of the hosting account and not to the username of the database. solved the confusion I am already trying to migrate the contents all

I found out where the problem was. when making an http request on the site, when you put ip/~username, username is the user of the ftp server. was the only thing that was actually failing. doing so, it’s called the public_html folder
