Moved to diff Server - Now article content is not displayed!

Post by solibra »

Hi,

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.
This is all very strange. I have no idea as to why phpwcms is behaving this strange.

Here is the stripped down phpinfo for the new server:

Solibra, did you find the answer for your problem?
Seems like I have exactly the same one. I moved to a Windows server (don't ask, I'm still mad on my hoster) and now I have white blank pages/articles in front-end and can NOT edit articles back-end.
Here is a link to see the disaster: http://www.genanelu-lazar.net . Entire left-hand menu use to link to phpwcms articles...
The only thing that is working on my website right now is the phpbb forum.

Please advise.
