[SOLVED] PHP Website move, getting errors

[mdennis83]

Hi everyone,

I am trying to help a client/friend with a website move from a buddy who no longer is going to be in hosting to Go Daddy hosting. It's a php website, I have copied the entire thing and uploaded it to the new server. I get the index.php file (http://maxus.net.previewdns.com/) to show but once I click on a link i get the following errors:

Path to PHPLib is Farked.

Warning: main(prepend.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/content/m/a/x/maxusgroup/html/main.php on line 41

 

Warning: main(prepend.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/content/m/a/x/maxusgroup/html/main.php on line 41

 

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required 'prepend.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/content/m/a/x/maxusgroup/html/main.php on line 41

 

Now I haven't changed any directory structure at all. I have a feeling it has to do with this string of code in the main.php file:

##

## Load PHPLib

##

$_PHPLIB = array();

if (file_exists("/home/chris/maxus.net/phplib-7.4-pre2/php/prepend.php"))

{

// Moria: Linux/Apache

$_PHPLIB["libdir"]  = "/home/chris/maxus.net/phplib-7.4-pre2/php/";

$editorPath = "http://www.maxus.net/classes/htmlarea/";

}

elseif (file_exists("f:\htdocs\maxus.net\phplib-7.4-pre2\php\prepend.php"))

{

// Prospero: Win2k/Apache OR Miranda: Win2k/IIS

$_PHPLIB["libdir"]  = "f:\htdocs\maxus.net\phplib-7.4-pre2\php/";

$editorPath = "http://127.0.0.1/maxus.net/classes/htmlarea/";

}

else

{

echo "Path to PHPLib is Farked.";

}

 

require($_PHPLIB["libdir"] . "prepend.php");

 

Any incite or help from anyone who knows why I'm getting this error and how to fix it? I emailed godaddy and they said it was a scripting issue... Thanks in advance

You may not have changed the directory structure, but your new host may have a different web root from the previous one.  That would cause you issues as far as your paths go.

 

[mdennis83]

Any idea how to get Go Daddy's web root info, or what to change it to? Their answer to me thus far is sorry our code is working, its a scripting issue.

 

would it be as simple as taking :$_PHPLIB["libdir"]  = "/home/chris/maxus.net/phplib-7.4-pre2/php/

and changing it to :$_PHPLIB["libdir"]  = "/phplib-7.4-pre2/php/

 

like an html link? Or do i need to have a web root ?

[JonnyThunder]

I think this will show it....

 

<?php
    print $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];
?>

Got past the original error, thanks. Now I have a brand new error 

 

Warning: mysql_connect(): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/usr/local/mysql-5.0/data/mysql.sock' (2) in /home/content/m/a/x/maxusgroup/html/phplib-7.4-pre2/php/db_mysql.inc on line 75

Database error: connect(localhost, chris, $Password) failed.

MySQL Error: ()

Session halted.

 

you can see it here:

Looks like you're using your localhost details to login to the mySQL server.  You need to put in the username / password / hostname for the new hosts mySQL server (I assume you did copy the mySQL database too?)

[mdennis83]

I have a localized copy the owner gave to me, that probably doesn't have the db. what would the file ext. be?

[JonnyThunder]

The database in this case isn't a file.  It's a mySQL database, usually a different server.

 

You'll need to use something like PHPMyAdmin and get connected to it, to make a backup.  or use SSL to get connected and take a backup.

 

Either way, you're gonna need that database!

[mdennis83]

I'm getting ahold of the original host to get a copy. In what file would I add the host/ user/pass? db_mysql.inc or local4.inc? cause local 4 has the info filled out but the db_ one has just "";

[jibster]

To expand on JonnyThunder above use PHPMyAdmin or another front-end like SQLYog (i use this) to connect to the database that has the data you want to move in. Export it was an 'SQL Dump' which will land on your desktop as a .sql file.

 

Next, connect to your new server's MySQL (you'll need the server address/username etc from them). Import the dump (!) from your desktop and you should be sorted.

 

 

[mdennis83]

Ahh, okay. I'll update as soon as i get the old db, and we'll see what happens

[mdennis83]

Okay, i've imported the db, into go daddys sql server, now how do i make it look for that one instead of the old one?
