I am trying to help an NGO as a volunteer in order to:
-
recover your website after an incident with your web hosting service (internal sabotage by someone who left the organization)
-
not having access to source at the moment makes things even more difficult;
I did the following:
-
I installed mamp on my Macintosh
-
To make things easy and very fast, I developed a minimal website in Wordpress with the content that was provided to me in less than two hours.
-
bought a new web domain (they were also sabotaged in the domain)
-
I talked to a friend who runs an IT company to provide us with a free web hosting service, which is already mapped to the new domain.
-
I should note that the new domain is not mapped to the web hosting service at the dns level
Regarding migration:
- _ I first tried to back up my mamp data on the public_html server ftp running the panel, as well as clone the database and migrate it) _
-
I was unable to access WordPress installation through IP address
Since the first iteration of the site is quite minimal, and I can basically migrate the content to WordPress: .
-
I deleted the previous installation in your database
- _clonei a blank Wordpress copy in public_html / site (where the site replaces Wordpress_
-
I create a database in mysql as well as a user, and I associated the user with the database
-
edited the wp-config.php file and added the name of the database, user, password
I added in some fields near the end of the document with:
- define ('WP_HOME', 'http: // ip / ~ user_name'); Home
- define ('WP_SITEURL', 'http: // ip / ~ user_name'); Home
Then I tried to access the site via http: // ip / ~ user_name where: .
- _the ip argument and the ~ user_name are replaced by the appropriate values_
-
did not work
I tried:
-
Ipaddress / site / wp-admin
-
did not work
I appreciate all possible help due to the fact that:
-
This should be completed tomorrow
I should note that:
-
the web hosting service is not really cooperating at the level of technical assistance
