How to transfer my Drupal from one host to another?

Transferring your Drupal application includes copying your files and database and modifying the settings.php file in the sites/default folder.

db_url - the MySQL details for your Drupal; the format you should follow is mysql://username:password@localhost/databasename, e.g. :

$db_url = 'mysql://user_drpl1:password@localhost/user_drpl1';

You should also make sure that the RewriteBase rule in the .htaccess file is correct. For example, if your Drupal is placed in your account's main public_html folder, the RewriteBase rule should be:

RewriteBase /
