woolyg Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Hi everyone, I've committed to giving a friend a dig out with his blog to add some functionality - turns out it's a WP install. I've received the MySQL dump, and have restored it to a WP install on my private testing server. The problem is, as soon as I try to bring up the main page, I get a 404 error. Before the obvious 'have you uploaded the index.php page' questions come up, let me say I'm confident that all WP files are uploaded OK. Say the live site is http://www.matesblog.com - I'm trying to restore it to http://www.myprivateserver.net/matesblog Has anybody got any experience in getting a WP install up & running on a different server than it was installed on? if so, could you lend some advice? All info appreciated. WoolyG Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/205239-wordpress-restoring-backup-to-testing-server/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolyg Posted June 19, 2010 Author Share Posted June 19, 2010 Never mind - I managed to hack into it through the admin section. Looks like a them had broken in moving the site to my server - a reinstall of the theme got it working.
