Geeklog Forums

I moved my geeklog website from one host/server to another. At first place, the site was a complete CPanel hosting while in the second server, it is an add-on domain in the CPanel hosting. Also, the directory structure are different. For example, in the first server, it was /home/siteuser/public_html/ and in the second, it is /home/directory2/public_html/siteuser/ where the geeklog files reside.

In order to keep it simple, I installed it fresh (same version) on the second server and restored the database from the first installation. I changed the entries in gl_conf_values table appropriately (including the counts) to match the new directory structure. Since I was using colors theme in the old site, I copied the directory also into layout. Yet, for some reason, I am getting the error in set_root as follows:

Template Error: set_root: /home/sitename/public_html/layout/colors is not a directory.
Halted.

I have scanned through the db-config.php and siteconfig.php also but could not find any other reference to the old directory structure in the new site. Understanding that it might be happening due to usertheme cookie, I deleted all the cookies and restarted my computer also without luck. Any help on this front would be greatly appreciated.

No worries, found out what was wrong. There are over 300 property values in gl_conf_values and I was modifying only the first 30 variables using PHPMYAdmin and did not imagine about the rest 270+ variables. Changed all the required once for the new directory structure and it is working fine now.

Glad you figured it out. Btw, did you see this? Geeklog 1.5 Migrations
