CMS Made Simple Forums

Hi,

I have assumed responsibility for moving our site.... and in the process started to learn a little bit about CMAMS.

We have a site running already with CMSMS and are moving to a new provider.

I have followed the basic "simple" backup/restore" of mySQL, FTP of site folders and check the permissions and alter config.php.

I have maganed to get the Database connection working, but then I receive the following errors trying to connect. I have turned on DEBUG to assist but it doesn't help me at all. ;

Does anyone have any ideas as to the issue here??

This is an older version of CMSMS, the doc/Changelog.txt shows version 1.2.5 from May 2008 but I'd just like to get it working and do an upgrade another time. If possible....

Thanks for any assistance,

HEATH

As an alternative to this I've also tried a full install of 1.9

It starts, and then after the verification with the ckecksum, moves to the "2" and stays there without and progress or messages.

Ideas on that front?

again thanks, HEATH

One option to do the sitetransfer is by using the module SitePusher. That will push the site from one place to another, where in the SP-module, you can tell what new location/db/user/pw is to be used...

Check your ftp log for errors - your new site uses cPanel, so ftp copy of a tarred archive is the quickest, safest way to move the site.
Check file permissions.
Recheck config.php.
Compare the phpinfo.php output from your old site with the phpinfo from cPanel at your new site.

Maybe try Sitepusher first (suggestion posted as I was previewing this post).

Thanks. Site push sounds perfect. But when I do the second test it fails,

Going to the rul that shows;

500 Internal Server Error

The request was not completed. The server met an unexpected condition.

Going to tyhe root directory shows the akmost empty dir for with the above file in it.

IDEAS?

Has anyone  CMSMS with SYRA/Crazydomains.com.au networks?

regads,
HEATH

another question....

The new service is on a shared server.. and they prevent??? 777 as a folder access in public_html

So I can't follow the install instructions for version 1.9( or even 1.2.5 for that matter)... Is there any wan around the requirement for 777, on a server with no command line access...

PHP version 5.3.2


Many thanks again,

HEATH

On the hosting company that I use, they also prevent 777 and in their instructions, it says that "755 will work for most cases that 777 is required" You can try that.

Hello I also have a prevention of 777 privileges, but believe (at least on my hosting providers) 755 makes it very well for cmsms.
when you install cmsms use a umask of 022. Since you already installed selec all files using cpanel file manager and change permission for 755 on folders and 644 on files.
I also added to the section # User specific aliases and functions in the file named .bashrc on the home directory of my hosting. (this is one level up of your public_html or www directory)
Adding this line of code you prevent this permission issue to happen in the future. You can also add the permissions status to some ftp clients so each and every file uploaded is with the correct permissions.

Hope  you can do it, and let us know if and when you can accomplish your goal, and as moderators say "put [solved] on your thread when it is done"

Best Regards
