I moved forum and photopost

Reeftanksonline · November 30th, 2009, 10:01 PM

I moved my forum and photopost and now all the links even after I edited the config-int.php and the config-inc.php I still get the old website name in the photo links and I cant sign in to the admin. It sends me to the old site. can you help me with what file still holds the path to the old forum and data files?

Can you edit your admin settings directly in MySQL?

Chuck S · December 1st, 2009, 05:31 AM

You can edit the url links via mysql in like phpmyadmin in the pp_settings table or rerun the install.php script to reinstall into the same database tables etc to update to the new info.

seems like the cookies still giving me hell. I thank you for the help what you said to do fixed the linking problem , I still cant get into my admin

Chuck S · December 1st, 2009, 04:20 PM

well if you changed the urls then also in the settings table make sure the cookies are correct as well because if not your never gonna get into admin

They are settings 171-173

cookie path should be /

The other two blank unless you tell me more about the forum.

171-173 ? where will I find that? Oh sorry I see what you mean ,,,Thanks!

Chuck S · December 1st, 2009, 04:47 PM

Yep you where already in the settings table I was just giving ya the id numbers so its easy to find em

Reeftanksonline · December 1st, 2009, 05:07 PM

Is there a easy way to find my server path? I'm linking wrong I'm sure the settings are wrong

Chuck S · December 1st, 2009, 05:39 PM

If your server path was wrong in your photopost config file then your site would not load. Is your site loading?

The way to actually see your path is to place a phpinfo.php file in your actual new host root and run it and see your base path. Under our photopost requirements page we have a phpinfo file you can download

There is your new path you need to make sure wherever the paths are in the settings that it is this. Also realize you could just rerun the install script which is alot easier than what your doing

/home/username/public_html/photoclubforum/photopost

Reeftanksonline · December 2nd, 2009, 08:34 PM

working on it still all paths are set and the photos wont show up, I remember a few years ago I have to open up some admin file and just save it and all was well after do you know the section I need to do this to?

Chuck S · December 3rd, 2009, 05:03 AM

Remember paths are in various areas in the settings table if your doing in manually. I beleive you want to change the global paths and storage options paths just like the detailed move thread states that you know about.

How to Move Servers and/or Change Directories

Is there any particular reason you continue to try things the hard way instead of rerun the install script to update the settings like suggested?

Reeftanksonline · December 3rd, 2009, 06:01 AM

I forgot to tell you in the last post I did run the install script as you said and I'm still having the peoblem. Last time I had this issue it as a rebuild of some type that fixed the photo icons.I may need you to look at this I'm lost..

An online Photo Cub community photo gallery - Gallery

You seem to have deleted all your photos!

Remember you cant try to scan the database to rebuild images if your path is wrong because that tells the gallery the image does not exist so delete the entry. You need to restore a backup of your pp_photos table and make sure your data directory path is correct in global options as well as storage options in the admin panel then you should be fine.
