If an error is thrown you should be able to see the info in your error logs, Apache will usually place these in the same folder as the file that produced the error or if you are running just NGINX then you can look in /var/logs/nginx/error.log

If you just want to move to a new server – https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-wordpress-with-lemp-on-ubuntu-18-04

Skip the wordpress 5 min in stall process in favor of importing your DB from the old site - as well copy and replace the wp-content directory from the old installs to your new one.

the process is pretty much this – https://www.digitalocean.com/community/questions/wordpress-website-migration-from-hostgator-to-digital-ocean

Hi Jason,

Thanks for your reply.

I am afraid that “Apache will usually place these in the same folder as the file that produced the error or if you are running just NGINX then you can look in /var/logs/nginx/error.log” is a foreign language to me.

I will have to look for someone who can help I think.
