Challenges Migrating Website from Local to Live Host

What steps can be taken to replicate the issue? Feel free to include screenshots, videos, etc

I’ve been using Local by Flywheel for developing websites, and I’ve generally had a great experience working with the platform. However, I recently faced some challenges when it came to migrating a website from Local to a live host.

Despite following the usual steps for exporting the website and setting up the live environment, I encountered some issues related to database configuration and file path discrepancies. This created a bit of a roadblock, especially since I wasn’t familiar with the full process of transferring sites from one environment to another, including domain management and cPanel settings.

System Details

Security Reminder
Local does a pretty good job of scrubbing private info from the logs and the errors it produces, however there’s always the possibility that something private can come through. Because these are public forums, always review the screenshots you are sharing to make sure there isn’t private info like passwords being displayed.
