moving server

saschenke / 2015-10-24 14:32:41   

Hi! I'm attempting to migrate my site to a new host. I have tried to follow all the steps in this thread
indexhibit.org/forum/thread/5912/

But I'm doing it blind as I am a web design dummy.

At the re-install step, after overwriting the existing files via FTP, I get an error message saying I'm already installed.
Do I need to delete my website from the old host first?
Thanks all!

And sorry, it is indexhibit v2, not older as the thread topic says

You need to update your /ndxzsite/config/config.php file with the new database info. Assuming you've already migrated that (more info around the forum about that, too).

Migrating is not the same as installing fresh - I'm assuming you are trying to migrate.

Thanks for your response. Yes, I am trying to keep the old site alive without having to install fresh and start over. I have changed that file with the new info.

It says:

sorry, it says

  1.  $indx['db']         = 'sascha6_saschabraunig';
  2. $indx['user']         = 'sascha6_sascha';
  3. $indx['pass']         = '************';
  4. $indx['host']         = 'mysql.saschabraunig.com';
  5. $indx['sql']        = 'mysql';
  6. define('PX', 'ndxzbt_');

Also, if I were following the above thread correctly, I should have changed my nameservers first, but my new host offers a temp URL and I thought I could preview the move that way. Am I wrong - should I change nameservers now?

OK, I have changed nameservers and pointed my domain to the new host. Now I receive an error that says:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 536870912 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 32 bytes) in /home/sascha6/public_html/saschabraunig.com/ndxzstudio/common.php on line 10

Any advice would be appreciated! Thank you

Update /ndxzstudio/config/config.php with the new database info.

I have followed your simplified instructions from this thread:
indexhibit.org/forum/thread/21013/

And have updated the new config.php file with new database info. Sorry to be so dense, but I'm not sure what further steps to take...when I visit my site, it shows an 'index' link, then the error message.

Am I maybe missing something really obvious, like needing an install.php file to be uploaded to the server?
Thanks!

Maybe I'm getting somewhere - I just got a new error message:

Warning: require_once(ndxzsite/config/options.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/sascha6/public_html/index.php on line 9

Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required 'ndxzsite/config/options.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib//usr/local/lib/…') in /home/sascha6/public_html/index.php on line 9

Any insight on this one? Thank you
