First I have read some post and I though it was right but when I followed I got same error such as executing timeout (Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded) when browse the website etc.

I have prepared the wordpress blog with some modification of the theme; integrated and tested my wanted plugin; prepare all pages, navigation etc. I have named my local site as: www.defondyann.loc but when I move to the server for website: www.defondyann.com I got above error and can’t browse the page or went to the admin as well.

I tried as following post:

http://yoast.com/move-wordpress-blog-domain-10-steps/

but not all worked for me so I took some points to do this way:

I. At my local server, I prepared the virtual host by naming as: www.defondyann.comI’m sure you guy know how to do virtual host in windows; any way, here it is:

apache2.2.6\conf\extra\httpd-vhosts.conf


   ServerAdmin webmaster@defondyann.com
   DocumentRoot "Z:/defondyann/wordpress"
   ServerName defondyann.com
   ServerAlias www.defondyann.com
   ErrorLog "logs/defondyann.com-error_log"
   CustomLog "logs/defondyann.com-common.log common" combined

Change at C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

127.0.0.1 www.defondyann.com

II. I browsed the website locally with: www.defondyann.com login to admin as normal
III. Modified upload directory configuration in /wp-admin/options-misc.php

To change upload directory to: wp-content/uploads

IV. Modified database, by execute update script via phpMyAdmin or any mysql client:

UPDATE wp_options SET option_value = replace(option_value, 'http://www.defondyann.loc', 'http://www.defondyann.com') WHERE option_name = 'home' OR option_name = 'siteurl';
UPDATE wp_posts SET guid = replace(guid, 'http://www.defondyann.loc','http://www.defondyann.com');
UPDATE wp_posts SET post_content = replace(post_content, 'http://www.defondyann.loc', 'http://www.defondyann.com');

It’s working for me,
Good luck,
