moving site.... no content or images - RESOLVED
Permalink 1 user found helpful
I was trying to move a 5.6.1 site from localhost to the web server but for whatever reason the database couldn't be found. So I did a fresh Concrete5 install.
After the tables were created I uploaded my /files /packages folders via ftp. I released all add-ons from localhost, attached and downloaded them to the hosted site. This included a fairly modified "natural concrete" theme, which loaded properly, thank go.
However, after all this none of my content is on the site. I'm really at a standstill with how to deal with this.
File permissions are set to rw rw rw for /config /data /files /packages.
My site is located at eclinical.exstream.tv Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I'm up against a deadline and kind of freakin out a bit.

Also, in my theme it's only showing the right sidebar page type.
Unfortunately, the content is in the missing database. When moving a site, you need to move BOTH the files and the database. You will need to fire up the localhost site again and go to 'Dashboard->System and Settings->Backup Database' and make a backup copy of the database. After the backup is completed, click the 'Download' button. Upload this .sql file to your new '[root]/files/backup' folder. On your new site, visit 'Dashboard->System and Settings->Backup Database' again and click the 'Restore' button next to the .sql file you just uploaded.
This should put the content back into your site.

I ended up going back and trying to migrate the site the normal way again. I realized that my localhost created the database tables as all lowercase. So I went back and manually changed them to camelCase through phpMyAdmin. This allowed the files to connect to the database. If I get in this situation again though I'll certainly try what you suggested. thanks a bunch.
