Wordpress troubleshooting help

[Traffic-Bug]

Need help with a wordpress blog, I just moved a wordpress blog from one host to another, and found that my site wont load at all after moving. I have done the following steps.

a) Take mysql export from previous host
b) Import exported mysql tables into new host
c) Set the correct database id/username passwords in wp-config.php
d) Take copies of all wordpress files from previous host to local machine
e) Upload all wordpress files from local machine to new host
f) Set root path of domain to the new directory containing the new wordpress files int he new host.

Still my site wont load at all,. What am I doing wrong? The site is skoths.com, my previous host was 1 and 1, new host godaddy.

What is the error you are getting when you load the site?

I think Godaddy is your problem. I once used their host and it was a complete nightmare, even with something as common as wordpress.

If 1 and 1 has a cpanel you can simply use the backup feature and download the site files and database files to a zip. Then in your new cpanel you upload each file through the backup area and then connect the database to the proper user and password in the wp-config file.

Another alternative to your Godaddy is:

Switch your site back to 1 and 1. In wp-admin export the database to xml. FTP your theme and plugins to desktop.

Switch back to Godaddy host and do a fresh wordpress install. Upload theme and the plugins you use through FTP. In wp-admin goto import and import the xml file to fill the database. By doing this you will not need to worry about database connections since you did a fresh install.

You will need to go through and setup the blog as you had it before.

Oh you're using Godaddy? I missed that.

Did you remove "localhost" from WP-Config and replace it with the actual MySQL server address?
