Moving to a new Server

[karc2007]

Hi,

ist there any problem, when i´m moving to a new server with cmsmadesimple? I noticed, that the CGEExtensions Module does make problems (but I will post my question to this seperate at the modules section). But is there any other problem I have to care about before?

The bad thing is, I can´t test the site before moving the domain.

Update:I removed CGEExtensions now.. so im rid of that problem, but  one error it shows on the new Server is like this (with some Plesk-Preview-Option): (The adress in the browser is in this case for example: https://some.ip.adress/sitepreview/http ... domain.com

string(115) "Smarty error: [in template:23 line 4]: syntax error: unrecognized tag 'title' (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 590)" string(118) "Smarty error: [in template:23 line 5]: syntax error: unrecognized tag 'metadata' (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 590)" string(125) "Smarty error: [in template:23 line 33]: syntax error: unrecognized tag 'global_content' (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 590)" string(116) "Smarty error: [in template:23 line 34]: syntax error: unrecognized tag 'title' (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 590)" string(115) "Smarty error: [in template:23 line 36]: syntax error: unrecognized tag 'menu' (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 590)" string(122) "Smarty error: [in template:23 line 42]: syntax error: unrecognized tag 'breadcrumbs' (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 590)" string(118) "Smarty error: [in template:23 line 45]: syntax error: unrecognized tag 'content' (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 590)" string(116) "Smarty error: [in template:23 line 47]: syntax error: unrecognized tag 'print' (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 590)" string(126) "Smarty error: [in template:23 line 49]: syntax error: unrecognized tag 'socialBookmarks' (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 590)" string(115) "Smarty error: [in template:23 line 55]: syntax error: unrecognized tag 'menu' (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 590)" string(115) "Smarty error: [in template:23 line 58]: syntax error: unrecognized tag 'menu' (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 590)" string(115) "Smarty error: [in template:23 line 60]: syntax error: unrecognized tag 'menu' (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 590)" string(115) "Smarty error: [in template:23 line 63]: syntax error: unrecognized tag 'menu' (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 590)" string(115) "Smarty error: [in template:23 line 66]: syntax error: unrecognized tag 'menu' (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 590)" string(115) "Smarty error: [in template:23 line 69]: syntax error: unrecognized tag 'menu' (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 590)" string(125) "Smarty error: [in template:23 line 79]: syntax error: unrecognized tag 'global_content' (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 590)" string(121) "Smarty error: [in template:23 line 85]: syntax error: unrecognized tag 'cms_module' (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 590)" string(125) "Smarty error: [in template:23 line 86]: syntax error: unrecognized tag 'global_content' (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 590)" string(115) "Smarty error: [in template:23 line 93]: syntax error: unrecognized tag 'menu' (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 590)" string(125) "Smarty error: [in template:23 line 94]: syntax error: unrecognized tag 'global_content' (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 590)"

Is this just caused, because the domain isn´t moved or is it caused by something else? Maybe i´m just paranoid, but this is just too important and has to work right away.  ;)

I jsut want to get sure, that im not completly in the dark after I moved the domain.

thanks for any help,
Marc

After site is moved to other server you might encounter some errors because some modules (e.g. Captcha, TemplateExternalizer, Calendar) saved  absolute paths of former server in 'cms_siteprefs' table. Find and correct them.

To ensure smooth moving i created 3-rd level domain like "test.mydomain.org" and directed it to new location. Then i copied files and imported sql. In this scenaio i had enough time to fix small problems. Just after i was sure new site had been working OK i renamed it to "mydomain.org" and directed domain name to new location.

It is not a big problem to move a site to another server.

There may be a few issues, such as that mentioned by Peciura, but there is nothing that can really 'break'.

Path references in config would need changing, and some directory permissions - there are a number of posts scattered through the forum about moving sites - go through them and most questions should be answered, and solutions provided.

Hi,
did you change paths in your config.php file on new location?

what about the mysql database versions?

Im having some troubles after I switched servers from Plesk 8.2-based to Plesk 9.2-based , as seen here:
