Error when Restoring a wordpress website

[comebacktome]

Hello! I have 2 files: backup.tar.gz (home page) and database wp1.sql.gz
I want to restore from these files. After upload through cpanel backup, it gave me Error establishing a database connection. So I edited the wp-config to change databse name, user, pass but there're no posts:" Page Not Found Sorry, but you are looking for something that is not here." I can still see the posts from phpmyadmin.
Is there anything I did wrong? Please help me!
Thank you!

Dear comebacktome,

The best way to move a WP site :

Step 1) Backup the database using PHPMyadmin
Step 2) Backup your template and uploads folder along with wp-config.php file.

You have to do below steps in the new site(where you want to move)

Step 3) Do a fresh new installation of WordPress
Step 4) Create a new DB and restore the sql file through PHPMyadmin
Step 5) Restore the wp-config.php file and edit it with the new DB details (created on step 4)
Step 6) Restore your templates folder and uploads folder.
Step 7) Delete the database created on step 3.

Done!

Best Regards,
Dansh
