total disaster moving site

Permalink
i've just completed building and editing my first site with c5.
i have actually been working on the site live on a remote server, but whilst sitting inside the "c5" folder so it was hidden from public view.
my plan was just to move the content of the "c5" folder out into the site root. which seemed like the obvious solution.
i downloaded and re-uploaded the whole site using dreamweaver... and updated links when i moved it out of the cf folder into the root directory... i couldn't access the site once i'd done this, so i put it back to how i originally had it so i could work out what to do. it looked like i'd had a few glitches occur in the download/upload process - assuming my connection must have dropped out and some of files didn't download - so i found myself late at night downloading/uploading individual folders. which i now realise was quite possibly the most stupid thing i could have done... i think something happened to the "libraries" directory inside the "concrete" directory...
currently when i go to the where the c5 site should be, athttp://integrativeacupuncture.com.au/c5/... i get this error message:

Warning: require_once(../../../../../../c5/concrete/libraries/3rdparty/Zend/Cache/Backend/Zend/Cache/Backend/ExtendedInterface.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/integ130/public_html/c5/concrete/libraries/3rdparty/Zend/Cache/Backend/File.php on line 26

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required '../../../../../../c5/concrete/libraries/3rdparty/Zend/Cache/Backend/Zend/Cache/Backend/ExtendedInterface.php' (include_path='/home/integ130/public_html/c5/libraries/3rdparty:/home/integ130/public_html/c5/concrete/config/../libraries/3rdparty:.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/integ130/public_html/c5/concrete/libraries/3rdparty/Zend/Cache/Backend/File.php on line 26

i am currently downloading everything using fireftp, which i should have done in the first place as it's faster and more stable, to make sure i have everything downloaded correctly.

i have opened the file in question - /home/integ130/public_html/c5/concrete/libraries/3rdparty/Zend/Cache/Backend/File.php and at line 26 it does appear that there is a file path error -
require_once '../../../../../../c5/concrete/libraries/3rdparty/Zend/Cache/Backend/Zend/Cache/Backend.php' - note that Zend/Cache/Backend is repeated twice there, which isn't right....
i don't want to mess with this file as it is in the "concrete" directory and i figure i'd be opening a can of worms if i did?

can anyone help?

It's more than just moving the files. You need to update the database so it knows where the files are at - and it looks like that is your problem at the moment.

Check this page out on how to move a site from one folder to another:http://www.concrete5.org/documentation/how-tos/developers/how-to-mo...

hi sogren,
many thanks for your quick response.
yes. i feel rather silly - i looked at this how to move your site page ///after/// i'd got my disaster rolling...
at the moment i am unable to access the dashboard or any part of the concrete5 site which makes it difficult to turn the pretty urls off and to clear the cache... yikes.
i had also opened up that site.php file and fiddled around with that - without luck, but i think mainly because some of my files got dropped in the process... but i can't be sure...
any ideas how i might be able to access the dashboard of the site in it's current state?
thanks again.

Hi :)
I am having much the same issues as on this thread. Problem is though I am using version 5.6.2.1 and having no success :(
Initially I moved files from one directory to another on the server but I think in the process some files got corrupted.

So I made another directory, and installed version 5.6.2.1.
I did go into /site.php and made the changes from the older site.php file but I get a totally blank homepage :(

Any Ideas?

Thanks

ok, so phew! i worked it out.
i was able to download and reupload the site - and i was right - the aforementioned file.php and another cache file had some wonky filepaths in them - so i just replaced them with original versions from the concrete directory that i'd saved in my original download folder...

so now my site is live - and working! on the front end, at least.

the only issue i now have is that when i go into edit page mode and then click to edit a content block, instead of the pop up edit window - it comes up with a pop up window that says:

Page Not Found
No page could be found at this address.
Back to Home.

[see attached screenshot]

i assume that there must still be some issues with file paths...

anyone have any idea where i can sort this out or which files i can alter accordingly??

many thanks in advance.
