Thread

I’m working on a site launch for a client. Our development site is working perfectly, but when we transferred everything to the client’s server, none of the data from any of the weblogs pull through to the front-end. The site framework (ie, everything that isn’t pulling from an exp:weblog tag) is working, as you’ll see in the links below:

Our development site (working) - http://sbma.easterlydev.com/
Client soon-to-be live site (not working) - http://216.23.198.14/

I can’t see anything obvious, and this was a direct copy from one server to the other. I’ve cleared the caches. The EE wizard I ran on the new server says everything required is available.

We’re running 1.6.8, build 20100121.

Any ideas?

Also, I can edit content on the back-end just fine. Everything pulls into the Edit screen correctly.

Here’s the wizard: http://216.23.198.14/wizard.php

Actually, it looks like just the Flash content doesn’t show? Sound like a possible path issue there.

There’s no Flash content on the site at all.

A more obvious example perhaps, with a bunch of text-based content missing from the main column:
http://216.23.198.14/about/

as compared to the working version on the dev site:
http://sbma.easterlydev.com/about/

Sorry to bug, but the client is getting antsy. Any ideas as to why database content isn’t being pulled through to the front-end?

Can you show us an example weblog tag? Just paste it in this thread, inside of [ code ] tags.

In the wizard you posted above, did you check your MySQL settings?

Here’s one I just created, which - if it were working - would display on the About page in the main column (http://216.23.198.14/about/):

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="static-content" disable="categories|member_data|pagination|trackbacks"}
Testing a weblog entries tag
<h1>{title}</h1>
{/exp:weblog:entries}

Obviously static-content is a valid weblog short name, and the weblog entries tag is about as simple as you can get. And even the paragraph element isn’t appearing. It’s as if the weblog tag itself isn’t being parsed.

MySQL settings were checked and double-checked. Like I said earlier in the thread, I can see the data on the backend, on all Edit pages. Everything’s absolutely correct. It’s only not working on the front-end.

Your not running MSM are you? What does your path.php file look like? Is it pointing to the dev install maybe?

No MSM.

Path.php:

<?php

// ------------------------------------------------------
// DO NOT ALTER THIS FILE UNLESS YOU HAVE A REASON TO

// ------------------------------------------------------
// Path to the directory containing your backend files

$system_path = "./system/";

// ------------------------------------------------------
// MANUALLY CONFIGURABLE VARIABLES
// See user guide for more information
// ------------------------------------------------------

$template_group = "";
$template = "";
$site_url = "";
$site_index = "";
$site_404 = "";
$global_vars = array(); // This array must be associative

?>

As you can see, it’s pointing correctly, and hasn’t been touched.

Ah - Try manually emptying your system/cache folder via FTP. Remove everything but the index.html file.

Thanks,

system/cache attempted to empty. I got “550 Remove directory operation failed.” errors when trying to remove the folders inside cache. The whole shebang is permission set to 777.

Still no joy.

Thats a chown problem. Probably still set to your old owner. Try removing the data from the cp, under Admin > Utilities > Clear Cached Data - But you really need to fix the ownership permissions problems with the cache folder, and empty it, as I suspect that is the issue here.
