Also, it may be worth creating a file in the system folder called mypath.php and inside there add:

<?php
echo getcwd();

Then, if you could navigate to http://yoursite/system/mypath.php and compare the path shown to that you got from your admin file.

You can then remove that file…

The path I got was:

/web/sites/user/2/235/192178/public/www/system/codeigniter/system/core/CodeIgniter.php

...which appears to match the structure. However the file on the server is all in lower case: ‘codeigniter.php’ ...would that be an issue?

The result from the ‘mypath.php’ was:

/web/sites/user/2/235/192178/public/www

so that seems to be ok.

sorry - misread your last message and put ‘mypath.php’ in ‘www’ rather than ‘system’. Just tried it again and got:

/web/sites/user/2/235/192178/public/www/system

...which, again, seems ok to me.

Was mypath.php placed in the site root? or inside the ‘system’ folder?

Odd - as my file for CodeIgniter.php is as shown - do you know how they may have come to be all lower case?

It could be worth trying to rename the file to the correct capitalisation and see if it makes a difference.

Second time round I placed mypath.php in the system (which gave me /web/sites/user/2/235/192178/public/www/system )

Just looked ay my local copy of the EE2 files and they are in upper & lower case so I guess something must have happened when I FTPed them. Will try a reupload and see what happens. Thanks for your help so far!

Re-uploaded EE2 files and checked file names are in the correct format.

I’ve got a bit further now, I can start running the “ExpressionEngine Installation and Update Wizard”, but get this error:

The following error occurred:
Your config.php file is unreadable. Please make sure the file exists and that the file permissions to 666 (or the equivalent write permissions for your server) on the following file: expressionengine/config/config.php

I’ve double-checked system/expressionengine/config/config.php has permissions set to 666

Not sure if this is correct, but in ‘config.php’ I’ve changed the following to match the new domain name, database name & password (these have all changed as I’ve moved the site to a new server/domain name):

$conf[‘db_hostname’] = “my-hostname-here”;
$conf[‘db_username’] = “my-database-user-name-here”;
$conf[‘db_password’] = “my-database-password-here”;
$conf[‘system_folder’] = “system”;
$conf[‘cp_url’] = “http://www.my-new-domain.com/system/index.php”;

...is the right thing to do?

Hi Andy,

Be on the lookout for an email from me. I think we have a better way to help you solve this.

Hi Kevin, many thanks for your assistance. I’ve just responded to your email.

Just a note to let onlookers know that we’re working privately with Antenna at the moment.

Finally got it all sorted - just went through the whole process again from scratch and all went well! I guess I must have messed up a setting first time round.

A massive thank you to everyone who responded to my cry for help - especially Kevin for his patience & support via email! You’re all stars!

Hi Antenna,

Excellent news! I’m really glad you’re all sorted now. Thanks for letting us know and thanks to everyone in here for all the fantastic help.

If anything else crops up then please don’t hesitate to post again as needed.

Cheers,

Mark
