My hosting expired but I had a recent backup of my EE site. No matter what I try, I can’t get it to work.

First, I try to restore my site, which runs EE 2.7.3.  When I do this the admin panel works just fine but every URL of the site says “The page you requested was not found.” This is an issue familiar to me but in the past I was able to (somehow) solve it: http://ellislab.com/forums/viewthread/243228/

I then try to update my EE 2.7.3 site to EE 2.8.  After that’s done, the admin panel still works fine but now any page I try to visit on the front end of my site results in the following error:

A PHP Error was encountered
Severity: Notice
Message: Undefined property: Channel::$query
Filename: channel/mod.channel.php
Line Number: 311

Fatal error: Call to a member function num_rows() on a non-object in /path/to/my/site/system/expressionengine/modules/channel/mod.channel.php on line 311

It looks like $this->query is a valid object up until $this->parse_channel_entries() is run on line 297 of mod.channel.php.

Any ideas??

Did you restore the account to a different hosting provider? Check your .htaccess/web-server setup. If you’re getting 404 errors, it’s likely something has changed. I’m guessing you’ll likely removing index.php from URL’s and you haven’t restored/set-up mod_rewrite rules on the new host.

It is a different account at the same host.  I’ve changed all of the server paths and my .htaccess file is updated properly.  I think something else is up, because why would an upgrade to 2.8 break the Channel module? (That 2.8 error happens when I use {exp:channel:entries} anywhere.)

The .htaccess file:

Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from 24.13.104.226

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
  RewriteEngine On
  RewriteBase /

  # Removes index.php from ExpressionEngine URLs

  # Directs all EE web requests through the site index file
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

A bit more info: I get the same “The page you requested was not found.” error even when I delete all tables out of the database.

can u remove the .htaccess file then try to access ur backend

If I delete the .htaccess file I can still access the control panel via /admin.php just fine.  Everything works fine in the control panel.  No pages on the front end of the site serve up at all.

No, then I get:

—
Site Error: Unable to Load Site Preferences; No Preferences Found

I thought it was related to a botched CodeIgniter file, but I’ve tried uploading several different version of the system/codeigniter folder and I keep getting the same error displaying.  Something must be corrupt with one or more of the EE files.  The problem is EllisLab doesn’t offer any past versions of EE for download so I’m sort of stuck.

Someone ought to make a site where the past versions of EE core are available for download.

check ur pm.

Regard’s.

Ahmad was able to help me out on this by pointing out I had outdated server paths in parts of the site that I wasn’t aware of.  A simple find and replace would have solved this and I’m embarrassed I didn’t think of it.

I am getting the same error message after upgrading EE 2.4.0 to 2.8.0. Could you elaborate some more on your solution? I am not storing any absolute server paths so I don’t know how that would affect my setup.

Same error!

Trying to update from 2.7.3 to 2.8.1.

CMS works, but an empty template with only these tags:

{exp:channel:entries channel="videos"}
{title}

{/exp:channel:entries}

Generates this error:

A PHP Error was encountered

Anyone ???
