Best tutorial for moving content from one webhost to another

  • Best tutorial for moving content from one webhost to another

    Posted 15 years 6 months ago
    • Hello,

      I am having an issue with moving a site developed on my development server to another account on the same webhost.

      I copied the files over no problem, and exported then imported the database no problem, but I am getting an error as follows:

      Unable to load session storage class: database

      website: www.ccaservices.org

      Anyone know what the best tutorial is for such a move? I know the problem lies with the configuration.php and I have tried to put the correct settings in.

      Joomla 1.5.3

      I need to get the $$$ to rejoin the Template Club..... =(

      Thanks!

    • Still stuck, does anyone recognize the error or have a link to a great tutorial for moving a 1.5.3 site from one webhost to another?

      Help!

      Thanks,

      var $caching = '0';
      var $cachetime = '15';
      var $cache_handler = 'file';
      var $memcache_settings = array();
      var $ftp_enable = '0';

      var $dbtype = 'mysql';
      var $host = 'xxxxxxxxxx.secureserver.net'; <--- correct DB host
      var $user = 'xxxxx'; <-- correct user and db
      var $db = 'xxxxx';
      var $dbprefix = 'jos_';
      var $mailer = 'mail';

      var $MetaTitle = '1';
      var $lifetime = '45';
      var $session_handler = 'database';
      var $password = 'xxxxxxx'; <--- correct password
      var $sitename = 'CCA';
      var $MetaDesc = 'CCA - Clatsop Community Action - Mobilizing Resources to End Poverty. Our Mission is to help people meet housing, food and other basic living needs.';
      var $MetaKeys = 'Clatsop Community Action, CCA, Help with Hunger, Low Income Housing, Emergency Housing, Astoria, Seaside, Gearhardt, Warrenton, Clatsop County, Oregon, Hunger, Food Pantries, Hot Meal Sites, Food Solutions, Housing, Emergency Housing, Hilltop Apartments, Housing Programs, Rental Assistance, Volunteer, Donate, Donations, Regional Food Bank, Child Care, Free Clothing, Counseling, Education, Emergency Shelters, Shelters, Employment, Energy Assistance, Free Store, Food, Healthcare, Lifespan Respite, Message Service, Transportation, Veterans';
      var $offline_message = 'This site is down for maintenance. Please check back again soon.';
      }
      ?>


      Is there anything I am missing here? All files have been uploaded and the DB was successfully exported and imported.

      Thanks!

    • It seems that one or several files got corrupted during installation. Can you try to reupload the whole Joomla package with another FTP program ?

    • Funny you said that..... I did just that last night.

      The site is up and the front-end is working nice..... however, the backend admin functions are not working. Nothing can be updated.

      I assume there is something in the config file I missed. I'll check out the forums.

      Thanks for the help!

    • Hmm, can't install the component. I can login as a Super Admin, but only view everything. If I try and click on something to add a new article, publish, or unpublish etc.... nothing happens.

      I've already blown away the folder once.

    • Upload the two files diagnostics.php and joomla_1.5.txt at first level of your site, then go to yoursite.com/diagnostics.php
