Thanks a bunch for the instructions. Most of it worked fine but I’m having a small problem – all of my links just go back to the old blog. Any ideas what went wrong?

hi, 10x for the help
But i needed to do two more things to do it
1. I let the new database, created with wordpress on the new host, only I copy/pasted all table structures from the original.sql to the new-one.sql .I also had to change the username and e-mails in the text, according to the new database user.

2. After re-importing the modified file, I had it all wroking, BUT taking all the staff from the old site (“waiting for freehostia…” down in the browser). I now needed to change all over in the sql document the url from the old site, to the new url. That I made with word processor (MS Word – find, replace all).

Now it’s all ok! I’m deleting the old one

10x again

Hi,

Thanks for the tutorial. However i having issue with the database transfer to new host.

I think my problem was the old site using WP version 2.6 and the export SQL table format does not compatible with the new site WP version 2.7.1.

This is basically what i did, i do a fresh install at new host server. I created new fresh database for the WP V2.7.1 installation. I created another database and import my old WP V2.6 SQL. I simply edit the wp-config.php point from new WP V2.7 database to old WP V2.6 which i had created.

However, after pointing to old V2.6 database, i only get blank page.

So, I got no choice but to point back to new V2.7 database and re-do all the posting again.

For those who plan to do the transfer in future, please take note. Perhaps i have done something wrong during the export of old sql database.

Also, following from above, I should also say, this was on the latest version of wordpress which is 2.7. I made sure to update my version of wordpress on my old hosting, before backing it up and downloading.
