In the process of moving the aushealthinfo

In the process of moving the aushealthinfo.com blog to my new Hostgator web hosting account, I realsied that doing this sort of thing is not an easy task. It is definitly not a straight forward process to move an entire wordpress site, but I think I have done it ok.

  • First I saved the sql database that was for aushealthinfo.com on my old server
  • Next, I self installed the latest WordPress on my Hostgator server
  • Created the SAME sql database name and user name as the ols one
  • Restored the old database information to the new database
  • Copied across all the plugins and uploaded images from the old server
  • Then I configured the config.php file to the copied sql settings

Now all I have to do is iron out a few things that didn't quite work out as planned. But the site is up and functional.
