I am attempting to migrate to a new server. I wanted to migrate the gl version 1.4.1 first and then update. That's seems like it should be simpler but perhaps not.

I have made a tar ball of the public and private directories and also saved the database.

I uploaded these two directories to the new server and the database also.

Then I changed config.php and lib-common.php to reflect the new settings and started an install by using 'upgrade Msql database'.

I get the following error:



/hsphere/local/home/shanegib/geeklog.... is the old server pathname and
/home5/simongib/geeklog.... is the new server pathname.

Line 117 of lib-database.php reads,

require_once($_CONF['path_system'] . 'databases/'. $_DB_dbms . '.class.php';

Is there something else I should be doing?

You may want to try our spiffy new Migrate option in 1.6.0.

The old way (pre-1.6.0) is documented here: Migrating a Geeklog site


In your case, it looks like you did not update all the paths properly in config.php. Double-check that.

Hi Dirk,

Yes I did have errors in my config.php file. I am getting to step 2 of 2 with this,



However, there is only a 'back' button and no 'next' button. This is odd.

Thanks,

Shane

Site now works if I stick index.php on end of url like so.

www.domainname.com/index.php

Thanks for your help Dirk, I am ok now
