CMS Made Simple Forums

Hi Helpers,

I have a nice CMSMS system currently on testing server (http://www.grumpyfrombirth.com/cmsmadesimple) that works a treat. I've just upgraded from 1.3.1 to 1.4.1 and everything went well.

I decided that everything was ready to move to the new domain (http://www.bdmlr.org.uk) so I did the following:

Backed up all the files from the cmsmadesimple folder.
Backed up the database using myphpadmin.
Restored the files to the new domain.
Restored the database to the new domain using myphpadmin.
Changed the paths and db settings in the config.php file.
Set the correct permissions for the folders.
Made sure that PHP safe mode was off.

When I then visited the new domain I got a blank screen. The /admin page was also blank. I checked my server logs but there were no errors.

I've had to put the old site live again but I tried the move twice to make sure I didn't do anything wrong but it still wouldn't work.

I will test it again tomorrow on another domain but I can't seem to get past the blank screen.

I've read loads of other posts about blank screen and have tried lots of things but none of the posts talk about blank screens after changing domains.

I look forward to hearing your views and ideas!

My kindest regards
Richard

1. REVERT these steps
2. SUBSTITUTE "Changed the paths and db settings in the config.php file" with "Create a correct new config.php":
    Run  install/index.php?debug=1 and in step 4 (I think) unchecks write tables in db and install sample content
    This create a new config.php without write in DB

Thank you for the reply. I moved the site to another domain www.01825.co.uk and this time the home page appeared so I celebrated but the menu on the left doesn't work. When I hover the mouse over the testing version I get:

http://www.grumpyfrombirth.com/cmsmades ... page=about

When I hover the mouse over the moved version I get:

http://www.01825.co.uk/

Has anyone got any ideas and should I create a new thread for this problem?

Kindest regards
Richard

Check your template because there are strange thing (look to link in top left).
Menu template is correct? Try to use a default template (ex: minimal)
