This post is works. I just want to add one thing.

If you migrate from from localhost or from other domain don’t forget to change it in your sql database. If you don’t the links will point to your old domain.

To do it, just open your sql dump using any text editor. Find your old domain and replace it with your new domain. e.g (http://localhost/magento/) to (http://yournewdomain.com/).

Now you can import the sql dump to your new database.

Hi,

works, but there is one more thing you’ll need to do for the pear installer to work correctly: there are absolute paths in some of the downloader files which need to be adjusted, for more information check this article:

In my case Magento kept re-directing to my old host. I found that I needed to CHMOD 777 everything so that it would pick up on my .htaccess file.

Also, Magento Connect wouldn’t work unless CHMOD 777 was applied.

Hey guys I’m having a real bad headache with magento these days…after I move my magento install to the new server, even after changing the database and doing everything…I can not access my products pages! it gives me the error “There has been an error processing your request” and I have no idea how to fix this! I’m pushing the deadline and still fighting with this issue! can anyone help me for the love of God?

hey guys! I just figured it out! when using fishpigs wordpress plugin for magento you gotta configure it too! In my case, so far, I have disabled this plugin so I can work without a headache and gonna see if I can configure it, but the website is ALL OK!

Somebody can help me?

I uploaded the my store to the new server. but I cannot access the store.

What are the steps I should make in the DB?

how do I import it for the backup?

thanks,
