title: Moved Wordpress Correctly (I think) but always get 500 error
body: <p>I am a web developer and often have to create a copy of a client's site on my own server for dev purposes. Everytime I move a site I get an error, either a blank page or a 500 error.</p>
  
  <p>I followed the steps here: <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress" rel="nofollow">https://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress</a></p>
  
  <p>Basically I: </p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Downloaded my site files. </li>
  <li>Exported my database. </li>
  <li>Edited the wp-config.php with the new server's MySQL database name, user and
  password. </li>
  <li>Uploaded the files. </li>
  <li>Imported the database on the new server. </li>
  <li>Changed the <em>siteurl</em> and <em>home</em> entries in <em>wp_options</em> table to match the new url on my server.</li>
  <li>Visited to site to see a 500 error.</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>This didn't work, so I deleted the wp-config.php file and tried to run the automated install by visiting the site. It accepted the database info (connecting) and when I hit run it said that it was already installed and to clear the database tables to install again. I obviously don't want to do this.</p>
  
  <p>So what am I missing? I haven't gotten this to work in a few months if not years and always end up creating a new WP install and importing all the data from the old site via WordPress' importer. In this case I can't because the old site is broken.</p>
  
  <p>The current site I am trying to get to work is at: <a href="http://www.inventivewebdesign.com/cancerhope/" rel="nofollow">http://www.inventivewebdesign.com/cancerhope/</a>.</p>
