Getting a tar file into a wp installation
Hello,
Someone asked me to transfer a wp site to a new host, and gave me a zipped tar file from his old hosting company. I uploaded it to cpanel (it took 8 hours!) and extracted the contents into public_html. I'm now left with a load of files showing under the domain.
The entire site, including the index.php, seems to be contained within a file called homedir.tar, a POSIX tar archive. But when I try to extract the contents, it creates a new public_html folder. So I end up with public_html_public_html/domain. And the homedir file is empty. So no site
Stuck on what to do next. Hoping someone can help!
Thank you,
Lynn
