Errors after moving to different server

[Foxworks]

Hi All,
I am new to CMSMS. A client of mine asked me to do some redesign for their CMSMS website. To test my new design I want to make a backup copy of the client's current website, place it on my own webhosting account, and insert the new design in the backup, before editing the live website.

I have copied all website data to my own server and uploaded the backup of the MySQL database to a new local database. I have edited the config.php so that all addresses point to the backup install.

At first I had some PHP errors concerning the deprecated =& in one of the site's files. This was easily fixed.
Now however the backup site loads only a blank page when it is visited. When I turn on CMSMS error reporting I get several Smarty Errors:

Code: Select all

string(125) "Smarty error: [in tpl_top:18 line 1]: syntax error: unrecognized tag 'process_pagedata' (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 590)" string(115) "Smarty error: [in tpl_head:18 line 5]: syntax error: unrecognized tag 'title' (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 590)" string(118) "Smarty error: [in tpl_head:18 line 6]: syntax error: unrecognized tag 'metadata' (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 590)" string(120) "Smarty error: [in tpl_head:18 line 7]: syntax error: unrecognized tag 'stylesheet' (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 590)" string(124) "Smarty error: [in tpl_body:18 line 4]: syntax error: unrecognized tag 'global_content' (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 590)" string(117) "Smarty error: [in tpl_body:18 line 6]: syntax error: unrecognized tag 'content' (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 590)" string(124) "Smarty error: [in tpl_body:18 line 8]: syntax error: unrecognized tag 'global_content' (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 590)" 

I'd like to know which steps I can take to get the backup running on my server.

The website runs on CMSMS version 1.7.1, which I understand is very old. I don't know the PHP version of my clients website, but since I got the error concerning the deprecated use of =&, I assume it is v4. The PHP version on my server is 5.3.5.

Line 590 in Smarty_Compiler.class.php that is mentioned in the error message only contains the code that generates the error message ($this->_syntax_error("unrecognized tag '$tag_command'", E_USER_ERROR, __FILE__, __LINE__);) I have no clue as to where the unrecognised tags are called, and how I can fix this.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Kind regards,
Chris

Yup that's an old version...
I would start by checking the paths settings in config.php, as these may still reflect the original server installation settings.
But after getting it working, upgrading is highly recommended as the policy is to only support the latest 3 releases of cmsms.
HTH

Most likely path problem in the config.php, I would upload the install folder from CMSMS version 1.7.1, whatever version you have, then run install but ON STEP 5 DON'T CREATE TABLES OR INSTALL DEFAULT CONTENT this will correct any path problems, then upgrade to latest CMSMS as all previous versions are vulnerable to exploits...

[Foxworks]

Yeah, I'll try to update everything once I get it working.

I don't think that the paths in the config file are the problem. I've checked them all, and as far as I know they are correct.

This is the complete debug screen I get when I visit th ehomepage of the backup website:

I just tried doing what Dr.CSS suggested. However, during the install process I got the following error messages:

Code: Select all

ERROR: The CGExtensions module could not be found.

string(123) "Smarty error: [in installheader.tpl line 31]: syntax error: unrecognized tag 'assign' (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 590)" 

string(117) "Smarty error: [in install1.tpl line 16]: syntax error: unrecognized tag 'cycle' (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 590)" 

string(117) "Smarty error: [in install2.tpl line 19]: syntax error: unrecognized tag 'cycle' (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 590)" string(117) "Smarty error: [in install2.tpl line 52]: syntax error: unrecognized tag 'cycle' (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 590)" string(118) "Smarty error: [in install2.tpl line 103]: syntax error: unrecognized tag 'cycle' (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 590)" 

These look the same as the others and could probably be fixed the same way.

The required setting also turned up with an error however:

Code: Select all

Testing error_reporting to ensure E_DEPRECATED is disabled

E_DEPRECATED is enabled

Is this a PHP setting that can be controlled by .htaccess?
I googled it and tried adding php_value error_reporting 1, but that did not work.

I will assume that either your client's server, your server or both were accessed through ftp. If that's the case, there is a chance that some amount of files got corrupted in the process. You should try the checksum to test the core files integrity. On the other hand it also appears that some of the modules need to be properly installed on your test server. I would try a clean install (on a test site) of the version your client has, followed by the install of the modules your client has (take note of the versions) and, if the clean install is ok, then I would import the client's db overwriting the clean install. I believe this should work as long as you can ensure the files' integrity.
Remember to clear the cache after each modules' install.
HTH.
