Moved site from one directory to public html... now errors.

Post by eonprez » Thu Jul 19, 2012 6:55 pm

I moved a website nkyfamily.com from the /new directory where it was installed to the public html directory. I did this through cpanel and Filezille. After the file moves were complete, I update the configuration file and the .htaccess files...

The site is not loading and when I try to access the admin panel it's going to some installation URL.

Help?!

Did you move the URL over to the website as well. Some time if you transferring the URL it can take a while to register with the hosting company.

We didn't change servers or domain hosts. It was a simple file transfer from one directory to another on the same server. Specifically, "new" was a directory in the public_html folder. I just moved all the contents of "new" to "public_html" then I made the changes to the configuration.php file and updated the .htaccess file. The Nameservers didn't change.
