Urgent assistance needed! Error after moving website!
 

Hello everyone,
I need urgent support on a problem I have had after moving my client's website built upon agent theme on the new web hosting service.

Everything seems to work fine after migration of all the files and settings of the db except for a thing!

When I try to upload an image from the "media" button, it starts to upload and then I get this error which I'll try to translate from Italian.

"Dir creation impossible /web/htdocs/www.c-75.net/home/wptest/wp-content/uploads/2009/06. Please verify that the root dir is writable on the server"

www.c-75.net was my old test website while now it should be www.larosaimmobiliare.com.

Where can i find the way to change the destination!?!

Please help me cause the deadline for this thing is on Monday and I really have no idea how to work it out!

Thank you in advance!
Claudio

Path on new site: /web/htdocs/www.c-75.net/home/wptest/wp-content/uploads/2009/06

- Make a backup of your WP files. Backup database also.
- move all your WordPress files into the htdocs folder
- Path on new site should look like this: /web/htdocs/wp-content/uploads/2009/06

Hi,

Moving a wordpress site takes a few steps because wordpress uses absolute url's.

Here's what to do:

1. Log in to your new site's phpmyadmin and to the database you're using for the new site.

2. In the sql box add this:

- UPDATE wp_options SET option_value = replace(option_value, 'http://www.old-domain.com', 'http://www.new-domain.com') WHERE option_name = 'home' OR option_name = 'siteurl';

And then this:

- UPDATE wp_posts SET guid = replace(guid, 'http://www.old-domain.com','http://www.new-domain.com');

And finally this:

- UPDATE wp_posts SET post_content = replace(post_content, 'http://www.old-domain.com', 'http://www.new-domain.com');

(In all cases replace http://www.old-domain.com and http://www.new-domain.com with your old and new site urls)

If you have a problem, let me know.
