I have big problems migrating an existing phpwcms install to a different server.
I followed the steps outlined here in the forum including:
1. Backing up the database trough phpmyadmin
2. Compressing the existing installation of phpwcms into an archive
3. extract the phpwcms archive to the new server root
4. importing the sql backup to the new database.
5. edited conf.inc.php reflecting the new database settings. (i changed database name, host and user/password) as well as the new site address.
Resulting in the following severe problems:
1. Frontend
Layout, Menu, browsing the site structure works EXCEPT no article content at all is displayed. Instead the default message for empty articles is displayed: "Gottcha! there is no content for this article" (on my install this is in german though)
2. Backend
I can login fine with the old user credentials.
First thing, the Welcome screen is empty.
Secondly, when browsing the articles: site structure, article names, and content parts are displayed. But when trying to edit an article or content part i get redirected to the welcome page (the page that is displayed when logging in).
Finally, in the file browser all uploaded files are displayed, but when i click on the download button the following error is displayed:
Code: Select all
An error (ID:1) occured while trying to download a file of your directory.
Please login again
and try another file.
If you think that this might be a technical problem send an email to the webmaster.
Here is the stripped down phpinfo for the new server:
