Site doesn't load on live server

Permalink
I created my site locally, everything works, I created a new DB on the server, ran the SQL script, updated the database.php file, upload all my files, etc., and the screen is blank - there is absolutely nothing there.

I'm hosting on Go Daddy and it has to stay there. What did I overlook? I REALLY want to use C5 moving forward, but this is now the second site that is not loading on a server. I'm getting really frustrated! :/

The site is: http://calljoeforhelp.com/index.php...

Help!?!

Are there any errors in the log in cPanel?
What version is the site?
What PHP version is enabled in cPanel?

When I loaded the login page, I got this error.

An unexpected error occurred.
include(C:/xampp/htdocs/CallJoeForHelp/concrete/elements/header_required.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory

For some reason, it's looking to my local directory for this file? Why is this? I didn't think I needed to change any paths when uploading to the server?

It's a Linux server, running PHP 7.0.

Try deleting everything in application/files/cache and see if it will load.

Genius! It worked! Like I said ... I'm brand new to C5, but I really, really like the flexibility and power of it, and want to move forward with it.

Thank you again! :)

Glad to help. In the future when you move a site. Turn off Pretty URLs, Turn off and Clear the Cache, then move the files and turn them both back on and always delete everything in the application/files/cache before firing the site back up again. If you do those, usually everything moves fine unless there is a PHP version mismatch.

Will do! I did upgrade the version of PHP on the server before uploading. Each CMS has its own "issues" that you need to address and be aware of, and I've only been working with C5 for a week — still learning. :)

Thank you again!
