Re: Wordpress site copied: wp-admin not showing anything

There has been no error in the log since 4.30pm, and I did this at 5pm.
No htaccess file on the domain.
No response at all.

I am tempted to delete the files again, but via FTP - not via Plesk. Then upload them all again.
This only tends to happen when I have issues on a domain, and try over and over. IT's as though something is being cached. I did clear cache and still it throws me to that page.

My goodness it's bizarre.

I am now uploading all files again. I deleted the lot via FTP.
I will let you know what happens.

If that works and I can get into a basic WP site, I will then try that Duplicator, which has worked locally to create an installer and an archive (now that I figured out how to do it).

Well... I did that, and still it does the same thing.
I don't see how this is possible. It's all uploaded. Apart from entirely deleting the subdomain from the server, adding it afresh, and uploading it all again, I don't know what else I can do to make this work.

You've tried a different browser to rule out caching issues? Doesn't make any sense to me that this would be failing and nothing written to the error logs. That's the whole point of error logs. What about HTTP response codes?

Ok on Firefox I get a blank page that takes me to that funny URL.
On IE (Fresh!!!), it doesn't redirect, but does a 500 Internal Server Error.

I'm half wondering if half the files are not getting transferred over during the FTP transfer.

Right well plan has worked.
I used Plesk to download Wordpress via the Plesk Applcations screen and that work. Heavens know why it didnt using the standard method.

Do you have shell access to the machine? Download WP directly and unzip on the machine. Zip up your files, copy the zip, unzip on the machine. At least that way you'll know you either have all or nothing.

Any idea where the menu is coming from in the bottom middle/right area?
It's not a widget. No idea why it's there.

Bingo - it was there because I had not set a footer menu.
Strange I think - as one wasn't set, it forced an odd one in there!
