Hi Gary
Thanks a lot for great explanation. I just ran into the same problem migrating a WordPress site to a new server, and the two additional lines in the web-config file saved me a headache.

Thanks for share.
I’m usually have problems when i do a website migration… Some times it’s just one letter… but one letter can create problems for a day.

Glad to hear that you were able to find a new host and someone helpful enough to point out your problem. It is amazing how a few lines of code can fix things up.

Hmm. I tried all these steps, and it didn’t work for me when using the same concepts to create a mirror site of my blog. I’m still stuck at the “Fatal error: Call to undefined function wp()” line 14.

There is one key difference: From phpMyAdmin, I copied my WordPress database from username_wrdp4 to username_wrdp3.

From that point, I created a new user and password, modifying my wp-config.php file to reflect those changes. Finally, I updated wp-config.php defining a different domain name.

I really didn’t want to spend 4 hours on this, but it looks like it’s gonna take another 4-8 hours to understand how to do this.

Good thing you know your stuff. More than half of the steps you’ve done I can’t even comprehend.. just yet. LOL. This just shows how hard I need to study my WordPress. LOL
