I built a site with EE on a local machine etc, and migrated it to an external virtual host by exporting the database and files and dumping onto the virtual host and changing paths etc wherever relevant.

The site works fine, publishes new weblogs etc. But the problem I’ve encountered is editing legacy data. Data that was published on my local machine. Editions to the legacy data does not impact the front end AT ALL but updates the database rows accordingly.

In other words, all legacy data is not editable even if the database is being updated. In theory the EDIT does take place, but the changes are non-existent on the site. There is no caching or versioning enabled. Templates are saved as files.

What could possibly be going on here?

(I am unable to post site address due to privacy reasons).

AntonyHarrington, when you moved your site, did you clear your cache files? You may need to manually clear out the cache directories via FTP.

See if that helps.

Hi Sue,

Nope. Didn’t do that. But now you point it out, it does make sense.

What was happening was we were updating weblogs, which we could see were updating in the db, but not pulled through onto the pages.

I guess the db cache could have been responsible for this.

Thanks for the pointer.

Let us know if that works for you.
