Internal server error after move to new domain {solved}

[christophera]

I moved a cmsms site over to a new domain name (same server).

I copy overed the files, checked to make sure file permissions where ok, change the paths in config.php.

When I go to the site, I get an internal server error.

When I go to admin, I can log in, and get some content, like the menus for accessing different things, but the main body of each page of the admin is empty.

php says: PHP Fatal error:  Call to undefined function smarty_cms_function_process_pagedata() in /home/(mysite)/public_html/tmp/tem
plates_c/%%BB^BB8^BB846DBE%%tpl_top%3A24.php on line 5
string(113) "Smarty error: [in tpl_top:24 line 1]: [plugin] unknown tag - 'process_pagedata' (core.load_plugins.php, line 124)
"

Anyone knows what that means, or what I should do about this?  

I double checked permissions, even set everything to 777, no joy.  Double checked config.php and all the paths updated to the new address.

Hi,

tried to clear cache yet?

Thank you Rolf, that may have been it, though I did not have access to the button in admin to clear it. 

I went back and cleared the cache on the old name, put the 'site down' message on so nothing would recache before I got it moved, moved it all again from the beginning and that seems to have done the trick

Thank you!    Chris

Great the website is up again! 
But you can also clear the cache manualy by deleting all files in the folder tmp/templates_c/

ah, ok.  I had tried manually but I made a mistake and cleaned out tmp/cache  Just took a look and found the dir you listed above with it's cache.

Then I discovered that only the home page was working.  Everything else led to a dns error.  Which led (luckily within minutes) to the discovery that cp -a  apparently doesn't copy over .htaccess files.
