[HH#728083] Migration issues

[HelioHost]

Username: vicky9, Server: Johnny, Main domain: vicky9.heliohost.org

 

Hello everyone

I would like some help regarding two issues i have.

I tried to migrate my wordpress site to heliohost without success

I have checked that my website is now pointing to ns.heliohost but when i

type my website it shows ''Index of'' and the files

and when i try to connect to my backend it redirects me to my old host

showing 404 error.

Website : https://cyprusfriendly.com

Any suggestions?

 

Thanks

V.

I don’t see a Wordpress install, just a bunch of files that appear to be content for your website. It doesn’t look like WP is even installed.

 

Did you actually install WP? If so, did you put the files inside of public html?

Hello Root Admin

I uploaded my SQL database and all the files and i checked that they are located in public html.

The public html has 2 folders  , cgi-bin and Myfolder, 

Myfolder contains htdocs.

Should everything be under public html ? Meaning to change their folder path?

I think the information i didn't change in wp-config is

/** MySQL hostname */
define( 'DB_HOST', '????????????' );
 

What is the database hostname for heliohost?

It should be localhost.

I can see the site if I go to https://cyprusfriendly.com/htdocs/ but if you want it to show up under https://cyprusfriendly.com/ I recommend moving the wp files out of htdocs and put it under public_html

I'm still struggling with the matter. Your suggestion gave me some idea but it did not solve the problem completely. I have to check the migration process better.Thank you for taking the time to reply.

To be very blunt, your website is a mess. I recommend deleting all your files and starting over again.

 

When I say delete all your files, I only mean EITHER:

 

1) the WP files within htdocs

 

Or

 

2) All the files within public_html.

 

It might actually be for the better.
