Moving the site to new host and the backend stop to works

[karimone]

Hi all. I found a very annoying problem when I move a site to a new host. Every time the backend login stop to works and the frontend send the logged user to a blank page. I tried many solutions I read in this forum:

• Delete the /tmp and /cache content
• Delete the /administrator/cache/ content
• Check all the permission
• Upload a new administrator directory
• Comment out the session fork at the line 533 in the application.php file
• Check and check again that tmp and log are correct in the configuration.php

The only things that every time works and save me is doing these steps:

• Upload a new fresh installation of Joomla
• Install joomla
• Upload the database over the just installed database

This is really frustrating and a time waste joomla's feature. I really would like to find where the bug is and fix that the next time I have to move a site again. Anyone have any idea?

Moving to a new Host could cause a permission or ownership problem. Your files should be 644 and your folders 755 for permissions, the ownership should be the same for all and preferably the Apache owner. If the ownership is the FTP user then you need to enable the FTP Layer in the Global Configuration settings in the backend. You can also set it by editing the configuration.php file in a text editor and filling in these vars and setting enable to 1

Code: Select all

	var $ftp_host = '';
	var $ftp_port = '';
	var $ftp_user = '';
	var $ftp_pass = '';
	var $ftp_root = '';
	var $ftp_enable = '';
