ok, i built my site using WAMP on a localhost.

Here's what I did to upload it to the server

1) i created a MySQL database on the server
2) i uploaded the extracted files and directories for a new XOOPS 2.4.3 install
3) i installed 2.4.3
4) i uploaded all the files from my localhost to the server, overwriting all existing files on the server from the 2.4.3 install, except the mainfile.php and the license.php
5) using phpmyadmin, i deleted all the tables in the server mysql
6) i imported a .gz copy of my database form the localhost to the server
7) I checked the localhost mainfile.php against the server mainfile.php and changed the 'XOOPS_DB_PREFIX' to the same as the localhost.
8) i checked the localhost license.php against the server license.php and chenged the XOOPS_LICENSE_KEY' on the server license.php to the same as the one in the localhost license.php.
9) I went to the website,

I get a white screen

I tried to directly access the user module for login and got a 404 error

10) i deleted all the tables from the database on the server, resaved the localhost database using the exact name as the MySQL on the server.
11) I imported the gz copy of the database

12) i get a white screen
13) i deleted all the tables i the server database
14) i saved the localhost database "uncompressed"
15) i injected the localhost uncompresed database using SQL
16) I get a white screen
17) I uploaded checksum.php and ran it, besides missing all the install files (i deleted them, as I'm supposed to do) I get the following:

Quote:

18) I don't care about the language files, i don't use them
19) i chenged the server files config.custom.php, license.php, object.php, to php.bak
20) i uploaded the versions from the localhost
21) i get a white screen
22) i ran checksum again, i get the same errors


Any help you can give to get this site running would be GREATLY appreciated.


TIA!!!

I hope this doesn't make a difference but on the server they're running PHP Version 5.2.12

on my WAMP localhost I'm running php 5.3.0

they're also running MySQL version: 5.0.84

I'm running 5.1.36

anybody????

Probably a stupid question, but you haven't mentioned making the xoops_data folders on the server writable?

/xoops_data/ , /xoops_data/configs/, /xoops_data/caches/, /xoops_data/caches/xoops_cache/, /xoops_data/caches/smarty_cache/ and /xoops_data/caches/smarty_compile/
are all 777

mainfile php is 777

uploads and all the subdires in uploads are all 777

templates_c is 777

Try to empty your caches folders (xoops_data folder) (dont empty the index.html) files.

I dont know if this solves the problem, but it can't hurt to try.

- Check your mainfile.php and your database file (I had an experience with wamp server as the fie writing in my case wrote to a windows folder used ('\') basckslashe insted of ('/')

the caches are all empty (except for the index.html files)

I checked the mainfile and the databases, everything is written as forward slash(/) not backslash (\)

looks like i'm going to have to start over, do a fresh install on the server, new database etc.

and reinstall all the modules directly onto the server, then copy all my modified templates to the server and cut n paste all my data into the database.
