[SOLVED] Moving mle messed up!

I have installed, tested and configured CMSMS 1.4.1 MLE on my local server. After that, as usual, I have moved everything on my production server, changed config.php, restored the database, but the site won't come up. I have a message: "ERROR: The CGExtensions module could not be found" (the module IS installed) and also the admin section is messed up.
I am also noticing a lot of "--Add Me" strings in the admin site, that I do not have in the testing server.

I am not a newbie with CMS, but this time I am really lost...

Sounds like the FTP didn't transfer properly. Try re-uploading.

Also, what are the specs for the host? (Server OS, PHP version, php memory limit, etc.)

They are the same as other sites I am running on... Apache2, PHP4, etc..

re-did the FTP tranfer, but nothing changes. Same big mess.

An example: if I try to display the system info from admin, I have nothing. Only this message: "string(55) "Smarty error: unable to read resource: "systeminfo.tpl"", but the file is there!

What is the php memory limit?

Try increasing it in the config.php file:

$config['php_memory_limit'] = '32M';

It is working as a charme on my server with memory limit=24M.

I have tried also on another production server, with the same result. Something in the moving process is messing up.

What is the memory limit n the new host? You said it was running PHP 4, which typically only has a memory limit of 8M or 12M.

You could try uploading the CMSMS package and do a full install on the new host, to see if there are any problems/issues, then import your db when you get it running.

Try to reinstall, but jump step 4 (I think ....) of write in database/sample templates (uncheck relative checkboxes), enable debug in config and look in error logs.

In particular (Aruba provider) recheck permissions

I have checked permissions.

I have a full site already set-up with all pages, images, templaets and so on. I would not like to re-install all the stuff, it is has been couple of months of work and - as I usually do with CMSMS - at the end of testing I normally move the whole site on the production server.

I don't understand this behaviour with MLE. What could be different?

Ok, it is fixed.

I had to reinstall completely CMSMS-mle, I did the installation procedure without writing anything in the database, restored the database from my testing site and installed additional modules.

It should be investigated why MLE version cannot be easily moved as the CMSMS plain...

Thank you.
