[QUOTE][u]Quote by: tmarquez[/u][p]Dirk and everyone else who has followed this... I found out what it was!  I'm posting here the results/solution as a means of documenting my issue in case it helps anyone else.

First I must say if it wasn't for all the care that Geeklog developers put into organizing the code and documenting what does what, I would have never been able to trouble shoot.

As you recall, the geeklog site I run was migrated to a new server in a new data center. Everything seemed to be fine but geeklog. Mainly, the topics not working. So, I move all the articles into a newly created topics. I can now see all the stories. But, nothing displays on the main page.  I copy the database into a new database and make another instance of geeklog and point at the new database it works as designed.

I then reconfigure my main geeklog site to use the new database. Still the problem, persists, "no news to display" on the main page. I then proceed to (back up first) replace all the geeklog files (config.php, lib-common.php, lib-custom.php,  etc.) to see at what point it will fix.  The answer........

lib-custom.php

I have a custom phpBlock in there that I use phpAdsNew in for my sponsors. It turns out, that database that phpAdsNew uses was NOT transfered correctly/properly. When I looked at the database, there were only 3 tables and no data. So, that was the culprit. Since my ads were setup in blocks to display on the main page, and the (old) topics (for except one apparently) that is why I coudlnt' see any stories. When I created the new topics and moved the stories into them, the sponsor blocks containing the code phpAdsNew code were no longer linked to them, that is why I could now see all the stories in the new topics, but still couldn't on the main page.

So, for now , until I can get a backup of the phpAdsNew DB from the old server that I can restore on the new server, I have turned off (disable) the sponsor blocks I have and the site is loading correctly.

It was nerver racking at times to troubleshoot all this, but I'm glad to live through it. :) Learning even more about GeekLog and hopefully will post another "hack".  Thanks to Dirk and IronMax for responding. [/p][/QUOTE]
