Site won't connect on word press migration - wordpress

So I am trying to migrate the local files to a server via cpanel and Filezilla. I went through and made a database and user.
I changed the information in the config.php file and uploaded to server but when I try and view in my domain name I get a ...
This site can’t be reached
testwp.com’s server DNS address could not be found.
Search Google for testwp
ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED
I have been double checking the data in the config file but have no idea what could be causing this issue.
Any ideas? Thank you ahead of time.

How to fix "secure connection error" on wordpress migrated site on MAMP?

I received a copy of a wordpress site from an organization in the form of site files and site database. I've imported the database without a problem, and changed the wp-config file to reflect my localhost DB host, password, and DB name. When I attempt to bring up the page I get "cannot establish a secure connection". I'm running MAMP-Proon Mac High Sierra. I've been googling around and trying different things without success. I'm coming from the world of Joomla and this is my first time working to migrate a WP site. Any ideas? Thanks.
I've checked my port configurations and both 80 and 8080 are listening.
I've added "extension=curl.so" to my php.ini template file.
I keep getting "cannot establish a secure connection" and localhost URL switches to https://localhost.

I need to run a file that I placed on an AWS server using sftp

I have a bitnami WordPress instance using AWS lightsail. I need to migrate the site to another identical AWS instance. I created a PHP installer from the first instance using the Wordpress Duplicator plugin.
I then uploaded the file onto the new server to a folder (opt/bitnami/apache2/htdocs/).The instructions I've seen online they say I just need to navigate to the location of the installer in a browser and it will run. However, when I attempt to access the PHP file from a browser I just get an error on the front-end saying:
OOPS! THAT PAGE CAN’T BE FOUND
I have seen suggestions online that the installer be placed into a public folder called html_public but my instance doesn't have a folder like that. I changed the access rights to the folder, and the installer, to be full rw access.
Any ideas how I can get this to work?
You must config the Security Groups firewall to open the HTTP port.
Open the Amazon VPC console at [https://console.aws.amazon.com/vpc/]
On the Inbound Rules tab, choose Edit the port range 80, 443 - Source: Anywhere - IP Address: 0.0.0.0/0 and Save.

Creating a localhost version of a secure / https / SSL website

I am trying to copy one of my websites to a localhost MAMP server for further development.
I bring you this as I am unable to access the site due to:
"This site can't provide a secure connection
localhost sent an invalid response.
ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR"
I have:
Copied public_html folder to MAMP.
Copied Database Collation and Data.
Created a new user and applied this to the WP-config.
Removed the .htaccess instructions.
Adjusted the options DB to have http://localhost as 'siteurl' & 'home'.
Restarted my computer and local server.
When I go to localhost:8888 it reveals the folder I created. However, when I click it will add
https:// before the URL and give me the error.
Any help you can give would be appreciate, Jason.

Migrate SilverStripe website from one server to another

I migrated a SilverStripe website from one server to another. To do that I took the following steps:
Transferred a backup of the files from the old server and to the new server.
Dumped the old Database and imported it to the new server.
Updated _conn.php to connect to the new database.
Now when I hit the URL in a browser it is giving a 500 error. I didn't update the DNS for new server, instead I point to new server from my local system via hosts file. If I hit mywebsite.com/robots.txt, it is showing the robots.txt but not showing other pages.
500 error means server error which means something in apache(?), php or other logs. Ensure debug mode is on for SilverStripe to get the most information.
If all else fails start with checking your .htaccess is fine and redirecting and use with debug [die] statements progressively.
Ideally use the silverstripe-installer to debug any server issues and install a clean install, then you can copy the site over when you know it is working.

Can't access drupal 6 pages after migration

Please I just moved a drupal 6 site from a Suse Linux server where its working well to a Mac lion server where i have set up a test domain for it. I have successfully imported the existing database and configured settings.php with exactly the same database name, username, password and server name.
when i enter the url of the test domain on the server, I can see the index page of the site but when i click on any of the links, i get an error message like this one "The requested URL /content/about was not found on this server."
Please does anyone have an idea on how i can solve this problem? I copied the entire sites folder and database including the .htaccess folder.
Thanks.
First, try to access the internal pages using ?q=. e.g. site.com/?q=admin. And disable clear URL.
Make sure you have uploaded drupal's default .htaccess file to your websites root. Apparently because you worked on MAC, you forgot to upload the .htaccess file, because it's hidden by default.
Hope this helps.
