Problem with migrate 0.764 to new server  Bottom

  • Im moving 0.764 from FC3 to new server FC9, i got my phpMyAdmin imported successfully and copy the existing files from old server to new server web directory.

    And then when i run the script on IE, i can only see a Blank Page, it seems couldnt migrate in this way. I dont know how to change the existing template to default template from the scripting files, and there's no error msg shown on IE, can anyone advise me how to resolve this problem?

  • Blank Page can mean a bad database connection.
  • thank you for your reply, Bronto. FYI, my new DB username and password are exactly the same as old DB server. I edited php.ini
    file as shown in Blank Page but nothing is happened. and If i did a right click on IE > View Source, here is the code i got.
    Any advise will be appreciated.

    Code

  • Postnuke 764 is no longer supported. please upgrade to zikula.
  • Yeah, I didn't catch that, I was thinking his move involved a Zikula upgrade. Since it's a different server and the database should have access, I would suspect a newer version of PHP is causing some problem with that old code.

    Just to be certain of the DB access though, I'd test it with encoding off in config.php, set the actual username, password and database and use the specific IP address for DB host if it's remote. Theme's shouldn't be an issue for white pages.
  • Have you checked if your pnTemp (and subdirectories) are writable for the webserver process?
  • Yes, i got my pnTemp (and subdirectories) are writable, i think bronto was right, it is newer version of PHP is causing some problem with the old code. I will go for this solution first. Thanks everyone.
