Happy new year to all,

I have a running XOOPS 2.0.9.2 website which i need to move on a new machine. I retrieved all the source files with the "mirroring" option of wget using the command:

wget -m --verbose --html-extension -o wget.log ftp://xxx:xxx@wwwwww.ca/httpdocs/

I used PhpMyAdmin to copy the contents of the XOOPS database into the new server with success. I chmod' 777 templates_c cache and uploads directories first with and then without emptying the contents of the first two directories. I also edited mainfile.php. Now when I try to acess the site, I get a blank page. No outputs on the webserver's error log. I could get neither php nor MySQL create logs in /var/logs. I modified inlude/common.php to activate php debugging, still the same blank page. I activated php, sql and smarty debugging through phpmyadmin, but still the same blank page.

I read in the forums that the problem could be due to an incomplete file transfer but I don't know how to check for it. Our host is very restrictive and offers only ftp access to our files. I browsed the logfile created by wget... The file is very big. I searched it but could not find severe problems reported.

I also read on the forums about the idea of installing fresh source files from the tarball and installing the database contents on top of it. I could not find in the downloads section of the XOOPS website the source of v2.0.9.2 so donno how to accomplish that either.

I am using (on the new server)
*debian sarge with a 2.4.27-2-386 kernel
*apache 1.3.33-6sarge
*php 4.3.10-16
*MySQL 4.0.24-10sarge

I am running out of ideas now. Please please help me:
servet

Really stupid question, and I'm sorry. Was the DNS changed to point to the new server?

well i am trying here to install the same site on a different machine. the change in the domain name should fully be reflected in the modifications i did in the config.php file.

i can log into MySQL from the linux shell using the info I entered in the config.php file. I therefore don't think that this is a DNS problem.

The problem was solved:

As stated in,

I had not had myql extension loaded by default in php.ini. I figured it out when I decided to download and install the latest version of the XOOPS which gave the following error:

"Fatal error: MySQL extension not loaded in ......class/database/mysqldatabase.php"

And this error, I only got it during this fresh install and not while I was trying to move my old site. The moment I knew the error, I was able to fix it.

Though, I find this a little weird because I have been succesfully running phpmyadmin... How could phpmyadmin ever run if the MySQL extension was not loaded?
