I just moved my WordPress website to a new domain & server. Everything seems to work fine except for installing new plugins. When I’m trying to install a new plugin, it’s still trying to access the upload directory of the old server.
The error I get is:
Warning: touch() [function.touch]: Unable to create file /home/oldserver/domains/olddomain.com/public_html/website/wp-content/uploads/search-and-replace.tmp because Permission denied in /home/newserver/domains/newdomain.com/public_html/wp-admin/includes/file.php on line 179
Warning: unlink(/home/oldserver/domains/olddomain.com/public_html/website/wp-content/uploads/search-and-replace.tmp) [function.unlink]: Permission denied in /home/newserver/domains/newdomain.com/public_html/wp-admin/includes/file.php on line 493
I already changed the WordPress URL, Site URL and Upload Directory in the database wp_options table. What did I miss?
In
wp-config.phpunder the different salts there was a line, which I missed because it was directly under the different salts.Obviously that needed to be changed to the new server path as well.
