We’re currently migrating a development site from one server to another.

After installing EE on the new server we exported the entire EE database from the old site and then imported it into the new site.

Now, when I try to login to the CP, I get the message that “The username you submitted was not found in the database”

I checked the exp_members table, and that user is in fact in the database. It’s actually the ONLY member in the table.

Another odd note is that the login page does not show any “style”... meaning no images, etc. In fact, if I check the path of one of the broken images, I get:

<a href="http://domain.com/dev/cp_global_images/ee_logo_sm.gif">http://domain.com/dev/cp_global_images/ee_logo_sm.gif</a>

When it should be

<a href="http://domain.com/dev/cp_global_images/ee_logo_sm.gif">http://domain.com/dev/cp_global_images/ee_logo_sm.gif</a>

So there seem to be a couple weird things going on.

The site was working after we moved it, but as soon as we imported the database to get the weblog entries back, it became non-functional.

Help! 😊

Jason,

Typically I would not install EE and then import the db if I was migrating.
I would just move all the files and then reimport the database

Can you confirm both versions and builds are the same?

You will need to update your General Configuration page with your new server paths after logging in. Also other areas would be Member profile paths to avatars etc and File upload paths

Good point… I will simply copy the old site to the new site and let you know how it went.

Right now, I can’t log in at all. It’s giving me the error “The username you submitted was not found in the database”.

Thanks for you suggestions John, we’re all set now!

Hi Jason,
