Migrating to production server...

[hickscorp]

Hello guys,

i'm migrating CMSMS from the developement server to the real webserver for a friend.
i've re-created the database, made sure tmp, uploads, modules are chmoded 777.
But the CMS displays a blank page. No warning, no error, and nothing in apache logs.
i'm wondering, is it possible it's not compatible with one of the webserver components?

System info:
CMSMS: Version 1.6 (New Caledonia), Schema version is 32.
Apache: 2.x (The default one with Snow Leopard).
PHP: 5.3.0
MySQL: 5.1.41

Note that there were a huge load of deprecation warnings... So i just disabled ~E_DEPRECATED in php.ini. But warnings and errors are supposed to be displayed.
Can someone provides me with direction on at least how to get the error message?

Thanks a lot!
Me.

Deprecated errors relate to PHP version. You need to switch to 5.2. Then tell us if the site is still blank.

It's working after puting php 5.2. However, TinyMCE doesn't shows anymore when editing content.
Also, i've just tried to upgrade to .6.6, and i get 500 server error...
Also, i'm reading from the MLE upgrade procedure that i'm supposed to overwrite old installation with the one to be installed... When they say that, do they mean overwrite = delete old then put new (Mac overwrite method)?

Thanks,
Me.

TinyMCE = static config file

Upgrade - follow the backup instructions in my signature. Then you are safe to delete all cmsms files on server, and install newest version.

Explain Mac method - are files that are deleted just the ones that are about to be overwritten or everything is deleted first? Just get a standard FTP program like Filezilla.

Might just be a matter of uninstalling and reinstalling TinyMCE to get it working.

Have you sorted the paths in the config?

I was tranferring a site today and misspelt one of the paths which was giving me a blank page.
