[solved] All Menus Lead to Home

Hi. I'm running CMS Made Simple Hyacinthe. I'm using PHP 5. something, and a PHP MySQL library version 5.1.50 which differs from my MySQL server version 5.0.95.(I'm not sure if this should create major problems, maybe I'm wrong) This is all working with Apache 2.2 running on Linux.

First up - I know nothing. I've been bashing around with my charity's website for a while now simply because no one else wants to do the job and we don't have enough spare cash to pay a professional. So please be gentle...

I've been trying to move our site to a new host as our current host is shutting down the hosting side of their operation to focus on more profitable enterprises. We've been given a month's notice, so there is a bit of urgency.

So far, I've struggled. I've followed the instructions for "moving your CMSms installation to a new server (1)" (I don't have enough knowledge of SSH to even attempt it, but I do know how to FTP and CHMOD) slavishly & have got to a point where it *looks* like the whole site has moved - but when I click on any relative menu from the home page it goes nowhere. External links are fine.

I've had a go at editing the config.php, updating the paths etc, but essentially it's made no difference.

Where am I going wrong?

A link to the site would help....

Also, are you using prettyURLs?

I guess it would help, yes... Oops!

The "new" site is www.homelessactionscotland.org.uk

(The old site is www.scsh.org.uk)

And no, no pretty URLS.

Ta!

could you paste the page-template in here? To see how the menu is called.

Do you mean the "template" template...? (I know, stupid question...) If so, here:

You may need to clear the server/site cache, or just run install but on step 5, DON'T CREATE TABLES OR INSTALL DEFAULT CONTENT this could clear up any path issues and clear the cache, also do a checksum test as this throws a lot of errors...

Cheers!
Checksum test showed... I'd mangled the installation of a menu template and missed a / from paths file in config.
