Moved C5 site now the Home pages loads incorrectly.

Permalink
Hi,

I moved my clients site to a new server. I followed the move directions to the "tee" and everything works except the home page is completely screwed up with missing page list, layouts, etc. When I try to fix it I just get the spinning ball and nothing happens.

I could def use some help,

Thanks

Not a lot to go on here, but you could try deleting (or just renaming) your [root]/files/cache folder.

Also, disable and re-enable pretty URLs to make sure you .htaccess file is setup correctly.

Hi NetJunky,

I turned off cache, pretty urls and deleted the cache files b4 I transferred the site. I have no issues rebuilding the main page the issue is when I try to save the changes I just get the spinning ball.

my clients site is (what it should look like)
bimagazine.org

and the moved site is
http://66.180.194.196/bimag/

It's running ver. 5.4.2.2 my client doesn't want to upgrade because of the new admin GUI.
It's on FreeBSD 9.1, PHP 5.4.10, Apache 2.2.23 (FreeBSD).

I've checked and rechecked all the permissions and they seem correct.

If there's any more info I can give just let me know. Thanks for any help.

I assume you adjusted your [root]/config/site.php file to point to the new database.

You say that the wait symbol just spins. Can you verify that the save is not taking place and that you don't just have an issue with the page not reloading (sounds like you already did this, but I want to be sure).

The next step I would take would be to verify that the site can write to the database. Can you save any data through the dashboard?

My guess is there is a path or permission issue. We know your root path changed, so that could be an issue. You also setup a new database, so we need to verify that the user can write to the C5 tables.

I did change the site.php

<?php
define('DB_SERVER', 'localhost');
define('DB_USERNAME', 'bimag');
define('DB_PASSWORD', '****');
define('DB_DATABASE', 'bimag');
define('BASE_URL', 'http://66.180.194.196');
define('DIR_REL','/bimag');
define('PASSWORD_SALT', 'cYIU7Yjs7BZpvITtbiPsSiqmhJWLD35aPwiiiiiiiiiii2CQoiEXGrKZq0wxJwXarSk');
define('PERMISSIONS_MODEL', 'advanced');
?>


I just added a new post and it saved so I'm assuming that means it can write to the database.
