Hi,

I've just migrated a XOOPS sites from one cpanel server to another using it's 'transfer account' function. Initially all seemed fine then I realised the following:

- images were broken in Xcgallery.
- clicking on a forum (CBB) topic resulted in error 404.
- clicking on a Smartfaq item resulted in error 404.
+ some more...

After closer inspection it seems that at module level URL's are being created minus two directories deep (e.g. missing the ../modules/newbb/.. bit).

Old server:
PHP 4.4.5
Mysql 4.1.22-standard

New server:
PHP 5.2.5
Mysql 5.0.51

I installed a vanilla copy of XOOPS on the new server, stuck the CBB module and it worked fine...

Not sure what to do now??? I dumped the live site database and imported it into the vanilla XOOPS install but that resulted in a white page and no error messages (with debug on and show errors on in php.ini).

Have you made the correct changes in mainfile.php?

I assume you mean the XOOPS_ROOT_PATH? Yes I updated that.

If any absolute paths used by module configs or images are wrong after transferring a site, you'll need to export the site DB as a SQL file using PHPMyAdmin, do a search-and-replace to change the paths, drop the DB tables on the server then re-import the SQL file.

You can actually do the search-and-replace in PHPMyAdmin if you are confident using SQL statements, but I do it the coward's way.

Also, I may wish to add that you should empty the cache and template_c folders. XGalley has a habit of storing cache files in these folders and that may not help either.

*Note. CBB has some files in the cache folder that store the permission settings for the forums and categories.
