I moved servers and now my EE site will not load/display properly.

I edited the config.php file after the move but that didn’t help.  No images or entries are appearing.  What I get is copied below:

I am new to moving EE between servers so I imagine that this is very noobish question for which there is a simple answer.

Also, the backend works and looks fine.  I can login to my control panel without issues.

koi, work with me here, please. Do you have a URL to the site in question? How did you move servers? Did you follow the instructions in the wiki and the KB?

While you were typing that, I edited the following to be the correct paths:

* - Server path to upload directory in the admin panel
* - Summary Upload directory

Sorry, I don’t follow. Do you mean it’s working now?

Doh! Sorry, I just treated the server move like I do all other servers.  I dumped the databases and moved the files via SFTP.

The URL is all things dot tv all put together.

I will review the above links right away…I know have this:

Are you sure that’s an EE template? Have you installed EE at example.com, if so, which version?

No, it was a custom template.

ExpressionEngine 1.5.2

I think I might have to pay someone because I am not exactly famiiliar with giving mysql commands.  :(

I don’t see why you need SQL commands at this point. It’s just that I don’t have the impression that EE is currently running (properly) at example.com.

If you want admin access, please let me know and I can PM it to you.  I am not sure whether there is something you can view to get an idea whether ee is running, but you can type example.com/system/ and see the admin panel.  It displays fine.  Wouldn’t that suggest EE is running properly?

Yes, send me a SuperAdmin and FTP account to .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).

That error indicates that you are trying to call a file, somewhere, called vb.php - and that it’s not found at that location.  Check your main template group’s index file to see if you’re PHP including that or similar.  Is there any chance you hacked the files to pull information that way?

where can I edit the path?  The path changed since the server move.

its now home/user/public_html/

That file - vb.php - is not part of ExpressionEngine, so you’ll need to locate where you’re calling it (probably your templates somewhere) and then update the path there.

koi, I have since received the login information and taken a look. You had a few issues there. I see your main template is composed of three sub-templates (which is good practice, by the way), and the one for the right column was giving us problems. As Lisa noticed, vb.php is not part of EE, and the PHP include was failing, so I commented that out. This did not solve things, however.

So I copied your original embedded template, named it yourtemplate2, and changed the {embed=} in your main template accordingly. I left a comment in the source saying I did so, then started debugging yourtemplate2. Quite frankly, you have a lot of weird PHP in there. I removed as little as possible, but as much as I had to: the culprit was most likely some code for the “Recent Forum Posts” (where it says “Foobar” now). You’ll need to work on that a bit, but your main issue should be solved: the site is working.

On a general note, I also recommend upgrading to EE 1.6.3. The version you are running is quite old. And please do change you password, not only because I know it now, but also because it was not very good to begin with 😊

I hope that helps, let me know if there’s anything else.
