Migrate WordPress
Hello I have to migrate a wordpress from a Linux Server to a Windows Server both are shared hosting.
It's possible? I have uploaded the database and configure the same user and password in it, and I uploaded all the files to the same localization.
But It' doesn't work.
In the Linux server If I enter with ftp I can see in the root the folders:
anon_ftp
cgi_bin
error_docs
httpsdocs
logs
private
subdomains
web_users
If I copy the same to the windows server I think It will be worng because there isn't any index.php or similar in the root folder.
Any idea ? thanks.

It's easier to get WordPress up and running initially as a fresh installation than downloading the whole core from the current server and re-uploading it to the new server. It's also unnecessary.
When you work on your WordPress site, all customizations happen in the wp-content subfolder and in the database. There is simply no need to transfer the rest of the core around. It's far easier to just re-deploy it and move the wp-content folder and migrate the database as I describe in the article.

I have understood that I need a fresh Wordpress installation in the new server. If this is correct, Why?
Thanks
