Trying to move my joomla site online...

[atavision]

I have had no end of problems trying to get my 2.5 joomla site up on my host server.
this is what my IT guy sent me today, does this make sense to anyone here?
('bodyholistic.zip and .sql are the database files for my site)

1) unzipped bodyholistic.zip which you uploaded to docroot
2) imported database bodyholistic.sql to thebodyh_jo151
3) configured configuration.php to connect to said database

I did not edit or change any other file you supplied.

When I run index.php, the script loops infinitely and eventually times out due to php max runtime value

it's that last line that has the site not working. what has been done wrong
so as to get this result? the site is located at www.thebodyholistic.com for anyone
who wants to take a look at the code.

As you said, the site times out and there is no code to view. Something that might help people on the forum is the server type and overall configuration.

Hmmm...Try make a backup of your site using e.g Akeeba, and ask you "IT guy" to install the backup on the server. Test the backup locally first to check if it works before giving it to your IT guy.

Akeeba Backup: http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions ... ackup/1606

It might be something to do with the actual server configuration. Can you upload test.htm and try to access that? Do you get the same error?

It could also be that things aren't configured properly, i think joomla would just bail out though. More info on your servers general config/OS/server software would be very helpful as toivo said

[atavision]

no the server config should be fine, I had a place holder page up there before, the problem started at the upload and enabling of the site, it worked as a localhost site just fine, I copied the database (Akeeba) and put every thing in my public HTML folder.

then my webhost went to enable joomla 2.5 and that's where the problem began, it never was able to make it work, apparently the code is looping?

here's my server config from my webhost - WHM/Cpanel server running php5 and centos 5

you still out there Tolvo? does this info help solve the problem?

Look in your .htaccess file see if you have redirects and if RewriteBase is uncommented and what path it has.

Run Forum Post Assistant And have you tried sone12 ?

[atavision]

Webdongle, your comments fall slightly over my head, not sure what a rewritebass is
also unfamiliar with 'sone 12" and have read enuf about FPA to know that I don't
have the need for that (of course it would help any of you out there that might
be able to make sense of such a report, but even the instructions for FPA advise
that if you don't know what you're doing, don't mess with it). so I won't, till I do.

the solution that I am looking for doesn't seem to be available on this forum right
now, at least not for my level of understanding. I will regroup and find another way
around this problem.

It is a command in the .htaccess file. Sometimes it's needed to be set if mod rewrite in Joomla's Global config is set. http://docs.joomla.org/Enabling_Search_ ... EF%29_URLs

Tell your IT guy to put FPA on the server an call it by putting the url in the Browser. Let him run the script and give you the resault that you can post here in the forum.

Akeeba as suggested by sone12 is your best option.
