problems moving xoops page from one host to another

Hi,

I have a task to move a homepage from a free host provider to a dedicated hardware. I started, copied the files, exported the database, converted the charset of the sql file and loaded into the database.

Now for the first sight the page works but I have some strange issues.

Forum does not work :( I can get the forums list but when I want to go inside a forum I got an error message "ERROR:Forum not selected!".

Xcgal says for all of the albums that the album does not exists, however on the main xcgal page I can see the thumbnails.

Other things generally on the page are working (did not try all the functions though)

I checked the apache logs but nothing special, it seem it seems they are XOOPS errors.

Where should I start to dig the reasons of he problems?

Thx for any help.

LOL, OK closing the new site down doesn't make it easier as well.

Furthermore: either you havent installed any forum or forgot to mentioned it.
xcgal= gallery module

sorry, looks like I am tired...
anyway, site is on now.

I know xcgal is gallery thx, only listed what modules are installed ;)

But maybe you misunderstood, so again:
I move a site from one location to another.
I downloaded all the files from the old location and uploaded it onto the new location. Quite simple.
Then: I exported the database from the old location and imported into MySQL at the new location (made a charset conversion though).
When I checked the new location I experinced what I wrote above:

That's where am I now.

Is it possible that there is a config setting on the server or the site that is disabling the $_GET superglobal. It seems that all of the issues deal with the $_GET variable not working.

I switched debug mode on, and found this when tried to look a forum:
Notice: Undefined variable: HTTP_SERVER_VARS in file /modules/newbb/config.php line 44

Notice: Undefined variable: HTTP_SERVER_VARS in file /modules/newbb/config.php line 44

Notice: Undefined variable: HTTP_GET_VARS in file /modules/newbb/viewforum.php line 34

How it could be???????
Is it coming from a missing file? I guess wget missed one or two files when downloading them from the old site, but only thinking loudly...

anyway here is e.g. line 44 in config.php:
$bbCookie['path'] = str_replace(basename($HTTP_SERVER_VARS['PHP_SELF']),"",$HTTP_SERVER_VARS['PHP_SELF']);


and line 43 in viewforum.php:
$forum = intval($HTTP_GET_VARS['forum']);

looks like it is solved.
register_long_arrays was set to "off" by default in php5.ini

Still have some character conversion issues but maybe I could manage it.
