Moving a CMSms site w/ issues

So I have moved my fair share of sites. But this one is giving me issues.
All is functioning, except modules. I have all permissions set to 777, and its not working (not allowing me to use items like news, calendar, or menu manager, nor upload new modules).
Any thoughts? I have CMSms 1.2.3 running on this same server from a fresh install, but this moved site is a mess.
Should I just do a fresh install, and then replace the DB, or is it possible the DB is the issue?
thanks.

Also, i was copying a cmsms 1.2.1, and have tried uploading new 1.2.3 files and ran the instal/upgrade.php. Upgrade went well, but still issues with the modules.
Lots of errors like:
string(148) "Smarty error: [in module_file_tpl:FileManager;filemanager.tpl line 42]: syntax error: unrecognized tag 'cycle' (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 590)"
And
--Add Me - module:ModuleManager string:error_permissions--
and
--Add Me - module:FileManager string:currentpath-- /uploads
and so on.
All modules folders and their contents are set to 777.
thanks.

Sounds like the files didn't copy completely. You could try copying them again, or uploading the full 1.2.4 release and do an install without installing the db or sample stuff.

when I do a full new install, can I simple plug in my DB info, but uncheck the "install tables" and the "install sample data"? Will the just simply hook up the new fresh install to the existing DB
thanks.

Just an update.
A full fresh upload of CMSms 1.2.4 did not help.
What did work: Installing a second DB, and pulling over the DB tables from the old that where needed (content, templates, users, etc).
So something with the OLD DB and its modules tables were not working well on the new server. Could it have been something with the sql move?

Perhaps. How did you do it? Mysqldump or export from PHPMyAdmin?

export. Multiple ways.

Mysqldump is always the better option, especially when moving between servers and/or mysql versions.

Can I run a dump from phpMyAdmin? I dont think I see that option.
Would a dump maintain the old data , and just save out a copy? the word dump to me implied the original would be deleted.

It's just like an export. It doesn't wipe out the data.

i had the same problem. there is nothing to do with the sql dump/export
i use 1and1 hosting and when log with ftp the path is not the real path on the server. in ftp it's something like /www
but the real path is /kunden/homepages/../d11029965/htdocs/www
so just upload a php file with on line code phpinfo() then you can get the real path and change that in the config.php.
It worked and i think it's real solution
