[SOLVED] Errors after migration to new host

Hi all,

I've just migrated my install of 1.5.3 to a new server. The database restoration and copy of all my files went smoothly enough, but there are problems now when I log in to my admin panel.

All the admin panel menu options for my add-in modules like "Questions" just show "--Add Me - Module: News string news--" for example.

When I visit the modules page my module are all listed there as installed.

I also find that my admin panel theme has changed to 'default' where before it was always 'ncleangray'! Why would that happen?

Please somebody give me a hand, it's now 3.30am here and I can't think this through on my own.

Make sure your config.php has been updated with your new server information.

Thank you ajprog,

You were, quite predictably, right. I had muddied the waters a little by transferring a domain name at the same time as I was trying this whole restore thing, so that meant that my modules/files weren't available via the domain that I was trying to access them via.

e.g. my 'previews path' should have been "/home/fhlinux131/c//user/htdocs/tmp/cache"

but at the time wasn't being recognized because the DNS changes i'd made earlier hadn't filtered through yet.

Try it again this morning and hey presto all is well.
