I have just set up hosting for nanna, and I have backups of her files on the previous hosting.
It concerns a Wordpress blog.
I copied all the files to her hosting space (her new hosting space, that is) and adjusted the database login details.
When I opened the site in my browser, I saw the text and (sort of) layout appear, however, without any graphics.
When I clicked a link, I got "Google Chrome cannot find the page at ...... (The old URL of her blog, which no longer exists)".
Obviously, my first thought was "Oh my goodness, I will have to go through all those files to change all appearances of the old URL to the current URL". (And I probably might still have to).
However, then, it also dawned on me "I have set up the database (via the SQL), I have copied all the files, but I have not installed Wordpress on the hosting yet", so I went on to Fantastico to do so, however, after I had entered everything and pressed the button to start installing, Fantastico returned this:

Of course, my main concern is now: will I have to remove all the original Wordpress files after all the work I went through?
And secondly, if I do, how do I get all the right data from the old Wordpress Blog in place?
Has anyone got an answer how I should go about things, and in what order?
Please help, as I would not want to have to start completely from scratch again.
I will be ever so much obliged if someone could help me.
