Clone not working | General Questions and Support | Forum Archive

I am trying to move a website from one server to another, to check it I am trying to make a clone of a website on a different domain.

I deleted all the files in the home directory (public_html) and its subdirectories

I deleted the MySQL database and generated a new empty database

I copied the backup generated on the main directory of the current damain to the new domain server home directory

I copied the TAR.php and XCloner.php files to the home directory

and ran XCloner.php

It copied the folder structure no problem

I set the username, dbname and password fields leaving the other options as default

It copied the database no problem.

When I try to run it, I get a error page saying that I have not uploaded the site content yet the content is there.

Looking at wp-config.php, I found the username, dbname and password had the backup values added to the end of the lines but when I corrected them it still failed. Looking at the database, the links still show the backedup address (ie the links are absolute and haven't  been changed)

I can get into the dashboard and see the content.

What have I done wrong?
