Hello,
I tried too move my website to a new Server but it does not work as intended. I followed the guide for a server transfer but some things do not want to work and I dont know why. I think it has something to do with the mysql database.
Here a screenshot of my problem:
As you can see this is supposed to be the news module. But I cant see any menu points or something like this. And this for nearly everything in the admin panel.
Please help me I dont know what to do anymore

You really need to be more explicit in what steps you took to get where you are, step by step...

Ok no problem
First I cleared the cache from the old website.
Then I backupped all files on my PC. Then I uploaded all files on my new Server.
Afterwards I backupped my database on my old server with mysqldumper. Then I restored my database on my new server with mysqldumper aswell.
Afterwards I changed the folder permissions and changed the config.php according to the new server account.
And now I wanted to enter the admin panel on the new server and nearly every module is screwed up like you see on the screen.
I think thats all I did. Hope this information helps.

It could be that some files got corrupted upon upload?
Did you also clear cache on this non working site, or you can't use the button/navigation?
Did you try turning debug on in config.php, maybe an error can be spoted?
Looking at screenshot it looks like you are using a pre 1.9.x Version of CMSMS so you would be advised to upgrade to at least 1.9.4.3.

Check your PHP version.. I had this same issue.. Older versions of CMSMS have language file issues (no text) on PHP 5.3+.

Not all servers use the same path system, so it could be a quirk in your paths, put the install folder from your version of CMSMS back in and run install but...
AT STEP 5 DON'T CREATE TABLES or INSTALL DEFAULT CONTENT...

Thanks for everybod for replying.
Yesterday I was finally able to test your advices. Unfortunatly the new installation did not work with unchecking the tables and default content.
I just checked my php version. The new Server has the 5.3.3-7+squeeze3 Version. My old Server had the 5.2.14 Version.
Does that mean that is the problem? And how do I fix it?
I tried to upgrade to 1.10. but the upgrade got stuck at step 6. In which version does cmsms not have language file issues with php 5.3+ ?
Thanks again for taking your time to help me!
