URGENT - blank pages appearing after move to new server

[sioux]

I am moving several sites to a new server and most have moved without problems. However about a dozen are displaying blank pages after all the steps have been taken to move them successfully.

I can log into the admin panel, I can see the page content in the content boxes, but I see nothing when I click on preview, nor when I 'view site.'

Occasionally I can get a site to appear with everything there except any content called for using the smarty tags e.g. {content}

I have changed the config.php uploaded an .htaccess file infact everything is the same as for the sites that do work.

I would be prepared to pay $50 to a developer who could fix this for me as my current server expires on the 22nd.

1. Have you tried to clear cache inside admin panel (menu Site admin > Global settings) ?
2. Are you sure you have entered correct pathes in config.php?
3. If you can answer previous questions with yes, you can try to run install procedure once again (WITHOUT writing database) You have to uncheck a field in (IMHO) step 4.

Maybe it helps ...

PS: Which CMSms version do you are using?

I have checked the configs and there were two with typos; when I changed them to the correct path I now get smarty errors i.e the site displays with everything except the content contained within the smarty tags.

I don't want to run the install program because these were exisitng files copied over from another server. As most sites copied over without any problems I just want to figure out what could be different with those that aren't displaying. And, most importantly get the smarty content to appear!!

I'm using two versions of the cmsms, and both are having the same problem: 0[1].13 and 1[1]1.2

now that you get the smarty errors, clear the cache and see if that fixes the problem.

No it makes no difference. This is the error I get

"Fatal error: Smarty error: [in template:5 line 8]: syntax error: unrecognized tag 'title' (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 580) in /var/www/allinfoaboutwebalmanac/lib/smarty/Smarty.class.php on line 1095"

and I assume that once I fixed that one I'd get the next {smarty tag} in the template that couldn't be displayed.

I've still got sites without any content appearing as well

From my installs I know this error message only on wrong pathes or not cleared caches ...
