Hello,

I am having trouble setting my site from development to a production server using EE2.

Everything works perfectly on the development side.

I have created a new database, linked it in the config > database.php as well as updating config.php

and also all the files reside on the server with the correct permissions.

When I try to access the EE control panel I am presented with a download dialogue box with a blank file name and “application/x-httpd-php” as the file type.

Does anyone know why this is happening?

Many Thanks,

Andy

Ok, well I have worked out why it didn’t work, I was using localhost as the hostname rather than numbers 123.123.12.123.123

So that worked, but I have 3 errors that appear at the top of the CP eg;

A PHP Error was encountered
Severity: Warning
Message: mkdir(): Permission denied
Filename: helpers/version_helper.php
Line Number: 157

Any thoughts?

Hi, Andy. Is this on a professionally managed server? That error means that for some reason you don’t have permission to create directories on the fly. Does your database user have all privileges?

Hi Sue, I have managed to get the site running, and that error message doesn’t appear anymore. I think there may have been something to do with the permissions I had set. Basically I re-uploaded the whole site and set the permissions again. Thank you for your help.
