I’ve moved my EE (v2.1.1) site over to a new server but I can’t see the front end of my site.
I can access the CP and upload images etc but I get a 500 Internal Server error on the front page.
Any help or advice would be really helpful.

I’ve found the issue, it’s with my MySQL database.
I was using version 5.1 but on the new server I’m using version 5.5.
I just copied over the Database from the Data Directory on the old server to the new.
The site didn’t work correctly so…
I restored my Database with a MySQL Dump file from the old server and re pointed the Database.php file to this database and the site works.
Is there an issue with coping and pasting a MySQL database from one server to another and why is the MySQL restore not effected by the same issue?

Hi, jemes.
This sounds like a general server question, so moving over to the Community Help forum for additional community support.
