Best way to move CMSMS MLE to another server?

[Peetra]

I usually make sites at localhost first and then moves 'em to to real destination, but I haven't succeed yet to move a site from localhost A --> localhost B.

Is the best way to istall CMSMS MLE all over again and then move the database? but what is in the db then anfd what is not? flag-config is in files, but no flags became visual when I tried to move in a db in a mle with no configurated flags through backend, so that lang-config is written to files?

Many problems I have had today trying to use straight file copying seems to be cacherelated. For example I haev a backend, but no frontend and in backend I get following error:

Code: Select all

Warning: fopen(/home/peetra/htdocs/cms-mle-fi-sv/tmp/cache/contentcache.php) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Lupa evätty in /home/peetra/htdocs/cms-mle-fi-sv/lib/classes/class.contentoperations.inc.php on line 568

Warning: fwrite(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home/peetra/htdocs/cms-mle-fi-sv/lib/classes/class.contentoperations.inc.php on line 569

Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home/peetra/htdocs/cms-mle-fi-sv/lib/classes/class.contentoperations.inc.php on line 570

And those lines are:

Code: Select all

			$handle = fopen($cachefilename, "w");
			fwrite($handle, '<?php return; ?>'.serialize($tree));
			fclose($handle);

I am all over the forum asking all sorts of (stupid?)
queston it seems, thanks gals'n'gays for keeping up with me beeing such a nub.

^^jeeps..... Nothing 'bout my special cache-thingie-problem there. I'll might just have to try from scratch again?

^I briefly read yout link from sig and would like to recommend mysqldumper as problemsolver for any databas export/import thingie. I'll read the whole story on monday.

Any further emptying cache tips are welcome. I might missed somthing?

Before moving go to site admin global settings last tab and clear cache, make sure the tmp/cache folder only has a index.html file in it, same for tmp/templates_c folder, then move site...

It seems that my chmod using skills at localhost are really crappy or beginners stiffness with cmsms-mle or something, maybe both.

Today moving site worked perfect, when I did a new installation ( /me glad to find mle-1.8.1 when coming to work today, its great to know that i do not have to upgrade the site right after publishing!) at the older local server and moved it to the new server.  

But of course it was another version number and I cleared cache through backend this time. well... I ain't going to check out with the older version of mle any more. I really like that it worked now and I am not that bothered 'bout what exactly went wrong last week.
